Offshore geophysical company Polarcus has announced the start of production in the first of a series of three 3D seismic projects offshore Brazil.
The seismic company said that the project is being acquired using the Polarcus A-Class 3D seismic vessel, Polarcus Alima.
The first project is being acquired for Chariot Oil & Gas, and the duration of the combined campaign is seven months, Polarcus stated.
The survey for Chariot covers the company’s 100% operated BAR-M-292, BAR-M-293, BAR-M-313 and BAR-M-314 licences in the Barreirinhas basin, offshore Brazil.
According to Chariot, the survey is anticipated to take approximately 30 days to complete.
Commenting on this, Richard Price , Senior Vice President, North & South America, stated: “We are delighted that our geophysical service offering and our environmental agenda have created the opportunity for delivering these projects for key clients in Brazil.
“The seven-month Brazilian campaign is an important element of our global strategy to maximize utilization of the Polarcus fleet through extending regional campaigns and minimizing vessel transits”.
