Cyprus-headquartered SeaBird Exploration, a wholly owned subsidiary of SED Energy Holdings, has through its subsidiary secured a contract for a 2D seismic survey offshore India.
The company’s Eagle Explorer will begin mobilization in mid-July, with the project expected to keep the vessel utilized through the first half of 2027.
The 2009-built vessel was previously assigned to work in the Western Hemisphere , scheduled until mid-May.
“We are pleased to secure this new project for Eagle Explorer, further strengthening our backlog and providing increased visibility into 2027. The award reflects continued demand for high-quality 2D seismic data, supported by an increasing focus on energy security and resource development across the region,” said Finn Atle Hamre , CEO of SeaBird.
“We continue to see strong demand for our services in India and the broader Asia-Pacific region, and this contract positions Eagle Explorer well for additional opportunities going forward.”
Eagle Explorer, which can operate as either a 3D, 2D, or source vessel, joined SeaBird’s fleet in 2018 . The vessel features 6600 kW diesel-electric propulsion, four Wärtsilä 9L26 3060KW engines and one Wärtsilä 6L26 1950kW @1000 Rpm engine.
