Shearwater said on Tuesday that the company had been awarded a 3D broadband marine seismic acquisition contract by Reliance Industries in the Bay of Bengal, India.

The acquisition project is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2020.

The survey covers 1,500 square kilometers of block KG-UDWHP-2018/1 in the Krishna-Godavari basin and will be executed by the Polar Duchess using a dual-source design.

Last week, Shearwater was awarded a 3D broadband marine seismic acquisition campaign by ONGC offshore Western India. The project is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2020.

This was preceded by last month’s announcement of a combined 2D and 3D broadband marine seismic survey for ONGC off the East Coast of India set for execution in the first half of 2020.
