SeaBird将在西非进行地震勘探

Seismic services provider SeaBird Exploration has signed an agreement to provide a source vessel for an upcoming ocean bottom seismic survey in the Gulf of Guinea. The company said on Friday that it would utilize the Osprey Explorer seismic vessel for the survey. The project is expected to begin in late fourth quarter and will have a duration of approximately two to three months. The client, financial terms or any further details and information regarding the survey were left undisclosed.

Also, in a separate announcement on Friday, SeaBird said its revenues for the third quarter were $20.4 million, a decrease of 12% compared to the third quarter of 2015. Global seismic demand continued to be weak in the third quarter, SeaBird said, adding that oil industry exploration spending is anticipated to remain depressed for the foreseeable future and this is likely to continue to negatively impact seismic activity.
