Petrobras has awarded Seabed Geosolutions, a joint venture between Fugro and CGG, to conduct the largest ever 3D ocean bottom node (OBN) survey in the Santos Basin in Brazil.

Seabed Geosolutions’ new Manta node system will be used to conduct the OBN survey, which will span over 1600sqkm. The seven-month, US$90 million contract, set to begin at the end of 4Q 2017 or early 2018.
