Shearwater GeoServices Holding AS has been awarded a 4D seismic survey with 3D extension over the Forties Field in the UK North Sea by Apache, the company said on May 18.
“We are very pleased to see a Shearwater Qmarine 4D crew returning to the Forties Field for the fourth time,” Irene Waage Basili, CEO of Shearwater GeoServices, said. “The project adds to the North Sea 4D program we announced earlier this year and we continue to demonstrate industry leading technology and experience in 4D seismic.”
The one-and-a-half-month project will be conducted by the Amazon Warrior starting in second-quarter 2020. In January, Shearwater announced multiple 4D surveys to be performed in the 2020 North Sea season.
