Field Development
The company is drawing on its proven expertise in both shallow water and seabed seismic to record for the first time seamless multicomponent data while deploying mixed configurations of light and heavy spreads in a wide range of water depths extending from transition zone to depths of up to 160 m.
The 200 person strong crew will deploy a fleet of over 30 vessels specifically designed for the different environments faced (coastal and deep water operations). It will operate round the clock with two different types of cables well adapted to the various environments and water depths. The survey is expected to last two to three months and the data will be processed in CGGVeritas’ Mumbai center.

Aker Exploration has entered into agreements with the international oil company Eni Norge to acquire ownership interests in two licenses in the vicinity of the Åsgard field. The agreements further strengthen Aker Exploration’s position in the Norwegian Sea.
