Dolphin Geophysical mobilized the one of largest floating objects by deploying a seismic spread of 12 streamers, 7050m in length with 150m streamer separation, off the coast of Myanmar for Ophir Energy.

This configuration of equipment has a moving width of 1.850m and the seismic spread covers a total area of about 12sq km.
"Ophir Energy PLC challenged the industry to provide a cost efficient solution to acquire their large 10,000sq km survey in Myanmar,” says Bjarne Stavenes, Dolphin VP technical. “Dolphin responded by offering this ultra-wide towing solution. After a swift mobilization, Dolphin's Sanco Sword is now in steady production with acquisition of about 150sq 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."
As a fully integrated geophysical company, Dolphin is also delivering a complete fast track on-board processing system powered by its proprietary OpenCPS software, and its Singapore processing office will ensure a timely delivery of a complete high quality pre-stack time migrated (PSTM) SHarp Broadband dataset.
In 2013, CGG’s Geo Caribbean operating in the Gulf of Mexico claimed the title of the largest man-made moving object, with a 13.44sq km towing configuration.
