The UK-based marine services contractor, Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS), has signed a contract with the French geophysical company CGG to provide offshore agency support services for a new oil and gas exploration project in the Barreirinhas Basin, off Brazil.
Inchcape will be providing a range of services for the Barreirinhas project in the equatorial margin of northern Brazil, including port agency, crew transfer, visa assistance and cargo services.
CGG is already conducting the multi-client seismic project that will produce the first regional broadband survey of the Barreirinhas basin.
CGG is deploying its specialized seismic vessel, the Oceanic Vega, to acquire the 14,500-km² 3D seismic survey. The data will then be processed and analysed at CGG’s subsurface imaging centre in Rio de Janeiro.
Commenting on the new contract, Anderson Souza , ISS General Manager, Offshore Solutions, in Brazil said: “This new project demonstrates our strength and expertise in providing exceptional offshore agency services on key seismic projects in Brazil.”
