Shearwater bullish on outlook for marine seismic

摘要

SHEARWATER GeoServices chief executive Irene Waa-ge Basili never imagined that, less than five years after the Norwegian company was established, it would achieve the top spot in the global marine seismic acquisition market. "Today's scenario is exceeding our expectations when we started," Basili admits. "But the market was ripe for consolidation, and from the outset we and our owners have taken a long-term positive view of the market." A 2016 joint venture of GC Rie-ber Shipping and investor Ras-mussengruppen launched Ber-gen-based Shearwater into a challenging sector known for its volatility.
