Geoservices company Shearwater GeoServices Holding AS has announced it has received an award for a large towed streamer 3D acquisition and Fast Track processing project by Total E&P Mauritania.<\/p>\n

The exploration survey covers 6,000 sq. km in the C15 and C31 Blocks using an ultra-wide tow Flexisource configuration, the largest triple source spread to date, together with Fast Track processing enabled by Shearwater’s proprietary Reveal software.<\/p>\n

The two-and-a-half-month survey is scheduled to commence in Q3 2020, adding to other recent activity in North West Africa for Shearwater, and will be carried out by the SW Empress (formerly “Polar Empress”).<\/p>\n

Total which was awarded the two blocks in December 2018\u00a0 is the operator of these two blocks with a 90% interest alongside the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Mauritanienne des Hydrocarbures et de Patrimoine Minier (SMHPM) holding the remaining 10%.<\/p>\n
