Wavefield Inseis launches new 2D/3D vessel

Bergen, Norway, 10 April, 2007 Marine seismic acquisition specialist, Wavefield Inseis ASA, is bringing a new vessel into operation as the company further expands its 2D/3D capability. The vessel, the Malene Østervold, is currently being converted in Norway and will be fully operational in June 2007.

Commencing operations by acquiring a series of 2D projects in the North Sea, the Malene Østervold is ideally suited to long offset 2D and small 3D acquisition. Carrying the very latest seismic acquisition technology, the vessel will be equipped with new Sercel SEAL streamers (1 x 12000m or 2 x 6000m) and dual Bolt airgun source arrays.

Wavefield Inseis’ second 2D craft, the Malene Østervold brings the number of vessels in the company’s fleet to six and is in line with the company’s aim to provide a flexible seismic fleet with ready access to 2D vessels that can also be used as source vessels for Wide-azimuth projects and undershoots.
