HOUSTON, TEXAS--Schlumberger Geco-Prakla has been awarded a
contract by Mobil Canada for three 3D seismic survey programs
offshore Nova Scotia, eastern Canada.
The three surveys, located 150 km off Nova Scotia's southeast
coast, will cover about 1,500 sq. km. The acquisition, scheduled
to start in June 1998, will be performed by Geco Topaz operating
in six-streamer mode. The Geco-Prakla TRILOGY(a) onboard data
management system will deliver a "Quick-Look" 3D cube from the
vessel shortly after completion of each survey.
Mobil Canada (as operator), Shell Canada and Imperial Oil Ltd. are
partners in the area of mutual interest with recoverable reserves
estimated to be 18 Tcf of natural gas.
Geco-Prakla was selected for the acquisition because of "their
quality of service and proprietary technology, as well as their
performance on last year's program," said Ken Miller, Mobil Vice
President, Eastern Canada.
Geco-Prakla, an operating unit of Schlumberger, provides
integrated exploration services worldwide and is a world leader in
seismic data acquisition, data processing and nonexclusive data
sales.
