Seabed Geosolutions has been awarded a 3D ocean bottom node (OBN) survey in the Santos Basin in Brazil.

Seabed Geosolutions’ new Manta node system will be used for the survey.

The seven month contract is valued at around $90 million and is scheduled to start at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017 or early 2018.

Stephan Midenet, CEO of Seabed Geosolutions: “We are very pleased to partner again with Petrobras to acquire the industry’s largest ever OBN survey, spanning more than 1,600 km2. We will deploy our new Manta technology on this high-profile project, delivering a breakthrough in efficiency of ocean bottom surveys.”
