Under the deal, Seabed Geosolutions will handle a shallow-water seabed survey over the second phase of the Ghasha project.

The $60 million contract is due to start in October and is expected to take approximately nine months.

The joint venture company previously worked on the Hail, Shuweihat and, last year, on the first phase of the Ghasha surveys.

“Over the past years and thanks to a close co-operation with Adnoc, our shallow-water crew has been setting new safety, data quality and efficiency standards for shallow-water and transition zone surveys, allowing for cost effective acquisition of large surveys,” Seabed Geosolutions chief executive Stephan Midenet said.
