The multi-component seismic company Reservoir Exploration Technology ASA (RXT) has entered into a LOI with an international oil company regarding acquisition of 4C seismic data in West Africa.
The intention is to conclude the final contract during May and start up of the project will be in Q2. The work is estimated to take 4-5 months, depending on the final lay out of the acquisition design. The final contract is subject to board and government approvals.
Reservoir Exploration Technology ASA (RXT)is the only marine geophysical company specializing in multi component seismic seafloor acquisition. Multi-component seismic solves several imaging challenges that cannot be resolved with towed streamer seismic, and targets improved oil recovery from existing fields. The technology also gives better data quality for appraisal and development, and is also the solution where towed streamers are impractical due to high density of platforms and/ or shallow waters.
