CGGVeritas Announces Extension of High Channel Count High-Productivity Seismic Acquisition Multi-Year Contract in Oman

摘要

CGGVeritas (ISIN: 0000120164 - NYSE: CGV) has been awarded a multi-year contract extension by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) to undertake a high-productivity high-density onshore seismic acquisition project in Oman. In addition to increasing the number of active vibrator fleets, the extension doubles crew capacity to 25,000 channels, making it the largest high-resolution seismic operation in Oman. Work under the new configuration will commence at the beginning of 2009 and is expected to continue through the first quarter of 2011. This step change in crew configuration follows the recent update to 24-hour operations in Oman, another significant advance.
