Fairfield Geotechnologies Awarded OBN Survey Contract from BHP in GoM

Fairfield Geotechnologies has been awarded a contract by BHP to acquire up to 1,004 sq. miles of ocean bottom node seismic data in the Alaminos Canyon and East Breaks areas of the Western Gulf of Mexico. The survey, located in water depths ranging from 2,500 to 7,250 ft., will employ two seismic source vessels and Fairfield Geotechnologies’ newest ocean bottom node technology, ZXPLR™.

FairfieldGeoTechnologiesThe innovative survey design will not only deliver high quality seismic data for imaging, but also provide the long offset, full azimuth data necessary for high-resolution velocity model building to enhance existing reflection seismic data.
