Dolphin Deploys 12 Streamer Seismic Spread in Myanmar

Dolphin has just mobilised the ‘world’s largest floating object’ by deploying a seismic spread of 12 streamers, 7,050 meters in length with 150 meters streamer separation, off the coast of Myanmar for Ophir Energy.

This configuration of equipment has a moving width of 1.850 meters and the seismic spread covers a total area of about 12 square km.

Bjarne Stavenes, VP Technical, commented:

“Ophir Energy PLC challenged the industry to provide a cost efficient solution to acquire their large 10,000 square km survey in Myanmar. Dolphin responded by offering this ultra-wide towing solution. After a swift mobilisation, Dolphin’s Sanco Sword is now in steady production with acquisition of about 150 square km in a single day. This is believed to be a world record for our industry and we expect Sword to become the benchmark vessel when it comes to productivity going forward.”

Dolphin is also delivering a complete Fast Track on-board processing system powered by the proprietary OpenCPS software, and the Singapore processing office will ensure a timely delivery of a complete high quality Pre-Stack Time Migrated (PSTM) SHarp Broadband dataset.

Dolphin secured the contract from Ophir for this seismic acquisition in February. The survey covers Block AD-03, located in the Rakhine Basin, offshore Myanmar.
