The survey was challenging, with strong currents combining with the long streamers to cause a high amount of infill. Obstructions included up to three rigs within the survey area, not to mention pipe laying and diving operations to contend with. These challenges and typical Santos basin conditions, large swell and high barnacle growth, proved no match for the Petroleum Geo-Services’ crews, who delivered an excellent HSE performance and kept downtime well under control.

Magne Reiersgard, Petroleum Geo-Services’ president Marine NSA commented: Ramform Valiant has once again delivered the very high standards we have come to expect in Brazil. These surveys further strengthen the PGS MultiClient library portfolio in the region.
