Fairfield Geotechnologies (formerly FairfieldNodal*) has been awarded a contract by BHP to acquire up to 1,004 sq. miles of ocean bottom node seismic data in the Alaminos Canyon and East Breaks areas of the Western Gulf of Mexico. The survey, located in water depths ranging from 2,500 to 7,250 ft., will employ two seismic source vessels and Fairfield Geotechnologies’ newest ocean bottom node technology, ZXPLR™.

The innovative survey design will not only deliver high quality seismic data for imaging, but also provide the long offset, full azimuth data necessary for high-resolution velocity model building to enhance existing reflection seismic data.

*FairfieldNodal has changed its name to Fairfield Geotechnologies (Fairfield Geo). The name change reflects Fairfield Geo’s strategy and continuing evolution as a provider of life-of-field technology, data and solutions.

FairfieldNodal pioneered the use of ocean bottom nodes (OBN) and is a leading provider of ocean bottom nodal technology, related services and data to Oil Majors, National Oil Companies and Independent Operators. The data and services are necessary to manage reservoirs, enhance productivity and mitigate risk over the entire life-of-field.

Fairfield Geotechnologies continues to build on a comprehensive OBN technology portfolio and has embarked on an aggressive program to grow its capabilities through M&A and strategic partnerships.
