Seismic survey vessel BGP Challenger recently started a 2D seismic survey offshore Brazil, right after its completion of a 2D survey in Namibia.
With a complete routine maintenance as well as a thorough preparation, the vessel passed the audit conducted by Brazil NAVY and PSC shortly after arrival in Brazil, which allowed the vessel to work within Brazilian waters until mid-2016, the owner of the vessel, China-based BGP, said.
The vessel tows 10km long offset streamers, and will acquire a minimum of 10,000 km 2D seismic data for Spectrum.
