Spectrum and CGG announced that the acquisition of high-end BroadSeisTM 3D multi-client survey program offshore Brazil in the Foz do Amazonas Basin has commenced.

As communicated earlier, the two companies are working as equal partners on this project which has received high prefunding from a number of major industry players.

The 11,330 km² survey is being acquired by the Oceanic Endeavour deploying Sercel’s new generation Sentinel RD solid streamer. The high-end BroadSeis data set will be processed in CGG’s Rio de Janeiro subsurface imaging center.
