Ready for action: the Geowave Champion
Wavefield Inseis lands Statoil double
Norwegian giant Statoil has handed a letter of intent with Wavefield Inseis for the charter of two seismic vessels for the 2007 season.
"Statoil has an active exploration programme for the Norwegian continental shelf," Tim Dodson, senior vice president for exploration in Statoil's Exploration & Production Norway business area, said.
"The group has obtained much new acreage in recent years. There is a need for 3D seismic data in most of these areas in order to mature drillable prospects."
The vessels Geowave Commander and Geowave Champion will get to work on the Norwegian continental shelf on 1 May next year.
Wavefield Inseis was formed after the merger of Wavefield Geophysical and Inseis.
