Marine acquisition

M/V Geowave Endeavour
The purpose built M/V Geowave Endeavour will be one of the most powerful and high-capacity vessels in the world.

With 16 streamer capacity and eight gun strings, the Geowave Endeavour is perfectly suited to meet the growing demand for high-density 4D seismic data and the need for wide-azimuth and multi-azimuth data acquisition.

Currently being built in Norway this 106 metre long and 26.6 metre wide vessel is designed to accommodate the very latest advances in seismic technology and to utilise techniques such as under-/over streamers and source configurations. The Geowave Endeavour will be the company flag ship when it is launched in April 2008.

M/V Geowave Commander
The 2006 converted and rigged M/V Geowave Commander is positioned as one of the most powerful and highly efficient 3D vessels in the global industry fleet. The name itself signifies the dominant role she has in all aspects of the 3D market. Incorporating separate source and streamer decks and 10 tow points the vessel is designed for large scale exploration 3D projects, high resolution development 3D and 4D surveys plus Multi-azimuth and Width-azimuth acquisition. Built in 1998 as a cable layer the vessel provides a world class platform for 3D operations.

The vessel is equipped with Sercel SEAL streamer and recording instrumentation plus two flexible and powerful airgun sources.

M/V Bergen Surveyor
The M/V Bergen Surveyor was converted in 1997 and is equipped as a long offset 2D also capable of 2 streamer acquisition for development 3D and 4D surveys. In 2D mode the maximum offset available is 12,000m and for 3D the maximum configuration is 2 x 6000m and dual source.

The solid streamer brings to this vessel the advantage of being able to acquire data in what would otherwise be marginal weather conditions due to the inherent noise reduction features of this technology. This also means that the streamers can be towed at a shallower depth and hence record higher bandwidth data leading to higher resolution data.

The vessel has got dual source capability and is equipped with Bolt Technology Annular Port Guns.

M/V Malene Østervold

The Malene Østervold is specifically designed for long offset 2D or 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 LL airgun source arrays.

Converted in 2007, the Malene Østervold is 69 metres long and 11 metres wide, with a transit speed of 15 knots (max). The 1678 ton vessel features a fuel capacity of 411m³ and includes cabin capacity for 28 crew members.
