Norwegian seismic player SeaBird Exploration has been awarded a contract by Wintershall Dea for 2D acquisition in the Norwegian Sea.

SeaBird said on Thursday that the survey has an expected duration of one month. It will start in the third quarter of this year.

SeaBird has not revealed any other details about its contract with Wintershall Dea.

In related news, Wintershall Dea recently awarded contracts to two Solstad Offshore-owned platform suppliers in support of its West Mira rig drilling campaign. The rig will perform production drilling on Wintershall Dea’s fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, including Vega, Nova and Maria fields, as well as exploration drilling.

SeaBird, on the other hand, is making progress with its own fleet expansion plan through the acquisition of the Boa Galatea and Boa Thalassa vessels.
