Eni Oman, in partnership with Oman Oil Company Exploration and Production, has awarded Shearwater GeoServices a seismic survey in Block 52 offshore Oman.

The survey, due to commence later this year, will be conducted by Polar Empress (pictured) and will take approximately three months to complete. The survey consists of 2,500-square-kilometre 3D, additional 800 kilometre 2D acquisition, and data processing.

Further, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation of India has awarded Shearwater a 3D broadband marine seismic acquisition contract for the planned 2018/2019 field season. The surveys will take five months to complete, covering approximately 2,000 square kilometres, with the main streamer vessel mobilising in the fourth quarter of 2018.
