The Geowave Endeavour acquired 4,911 sail kilometers during the month of October while working offshore Libya for BP. Towing a
configuration of 10 x 8,000 meter long streamers at 100 meter separation, this translates to 2,456 square kilometers. This is believed to be a new production record for any seismic vessel and confirms that Wavefield Inseis operates one of the most efficient seismic fleets in the world.
Martin Billard, Party Chief on the Geowave Endeavour commented "Geowave Endeavour is a fantastic vessel. Everybody has worked hard bringing Endeavour fully up to speed since its launch earlier this year. Endeavour's crew really deserves this record.
