Shearwater to conduct seismic survey over Yellowtail development

Seismic Survey

Shearwater has secured a two-month seismic survey contract from ExxonMobil Guyana Limited for work over the Yellowtail development area in the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana.

The Norway-based marine geoscience company said on June 11 that the scope covers a distributed acoustic sensing seismic program. The work will involve source-only seismic acquisition to support a baseline reservoir surveillance survey at Yellowtail.

Shearwater said it has deployed the SW Empress in a triple source configuration for the assignment.

The vessel is moving directly into the Guyana program after operating on a multi-client project in South America since November 2025.
