Norway-based seismic firm Magseis has, together with its partner BGP, has been awarded Saudi Aramco’s S78 project for large-scale ocean bottom seismic acquisition in the Red Sea.

The project is expected to last nine months plus one year, and is due to start during July 2016.

The survey features complicated surface and geological conditions with a combination of deep and shallow marine work. The combination of Magseis’ OBS technology (MASS) and BGP’s transition zone expertise ensured the consortium’s successful bid. M/V Artemis Athene, Magseis’ OBS vessel, will be used for the survey.
