Magseis has successfully completed the initial part of Saudi Aramco’s Red Sea seabed seismic survey together with its partner BGP and is now starting an extension project.

Following a short yard stay and mobilization, the crew has started acquisition on the extension of the previously announced Red Sea survey using Magseis’ ocean bottom seismic technology (MASS) and BGP’s transition zone expertise to cover the deep and shallow marine environment.

Magseis CEO Idar Horstad said: “Our excellent operations team and crew on-board the Artemis Athene is once again demonstrating outstanding efforts and performance during the completion of the initial survey and during the mobilization- and initial deployment phase of the extension. We look forward to another successful project in the Red Sea."
