Fossil Energy – OBN Survey
Shearwater announced the award of a deepwater OBN survey in West Africa.
Starting in Q4 2024, this one-month survey will be the first to use the SW Tasman’s combined seismic source and dual ROV node deployment capability in a single-vessel deepwater OBN survey operation, introducing Shearwater’s proprietary Pearl node to the region.
Irene Waage Basili, CEO of Shearwater, commented: “This project demonstrates yet another operational advantage of our Pearl/Tasman OBN platform. Following its successful mobilisation in India in early 2024 and the recently announced Angola projects through late Q2 2025, this award showcases the platform’s growing impact in complex offshore environments. By combining the Pearl node and our unique multi-function SW Tasman vessel, we enhance survey efficiency and unlock the potential of deepwater OBN surveys in environments where cost barriers historically have been too high.”
