Regulatory News:
CGGVeritas (Paris:GA) (NYSE:CGV) announced today that it has
been awarded a contract by Lundin Petroleum to conduct a survey of
over 2,700 km2 with BroadSeis™, its broadband marine solution,
using for the first time its broadband source option, BroadSource™.
The survey of the Haugaland High in Quadrant 16 of the Norwegian
sector of the North Sea started in May 2012 and is expected to last
3.5 months. This survey covers the fields formerly known as Luno
and Avaldsnes which were renamed as Edvard Grieg and Johan Sverdrup
in early 2012. The Johan Sverdrup is widely estimated to be the
largest oil discovery in Norway in recent years.
BroadSeis was selected for this project as a direct result of
several successful commercial surveys conducted by Lundin at the
same location in 2011 which confirmed the technical and operational
performance of BroadSeis. There was extremely positive R&D
collaboration between both companies on acquisition and processing
aspects and this latest BroadSeis survey will see the first
pre-commercial deployment of BroadSource™, in order to achieve
widest-bandwidth ghost-free data.
Hans Christen Rønnevik, Exploration Manager of Lundin said: "The
implementation of Broadband technologies represents a major step
change in marine seismic acquisition, with technological
breakthroughs opening avenues to new knowledge and exploration
opportunities.”
Jean-Georges Malcor, CEO, CGGVeritas, said: “We are very proud
that Lundin, one of the most successful oil and gas companies these
past years, have selected to benchmark our BroadSeis solution with
the new broadband source option, BroadSource, from among the latest
high-end techniques available. We are confident that we will
achieve the best possible resolution and imaging quality for the
high-potential Edvard Grieg and Johan Sverdrup discoveries. With
our impressive track record of over 30 successful surveys conducted
in the last eighteen months, BroadSeis is without doubt the best,
proven broadband technology available in the industry today.”
