MultiClient Geophysical (MCG) has completed the acquisition of the part of the Maximus 2D Multi-Client survey covering blocks to be announced in the first deep-water bid round in the Salinas Basin, offshore Mexico.

A complete processed dataset will be available in February 2016. According to MCG, the seismic vessel is currently acquiring regional lines for the Maximus survey outside the bid round blocks.
