SURVEY and positioning firm iSurvey has announced completion of its largest project to date.

The contract – which consisted of two workscopes – was awarded by Norwegian ocean bottom seismic experts, Magseis Fairfield ASA.

The two circa.500 square km surveys have contributed to Magseis Fairfield’s ocean bottom node (OBN) exploration project within the Cornerstone area, which has been described as one of the most challenging locations in the North Sea.

Andrew McMurtie, iSURVEY managing director, said: “Mobilising on the Northern Survey OSV Cecilia just a week after contract award, I am hugely impressed with the results we have achieved and proud that our client has been so pleased with our performance.

“Equipped with multi-beam echosounder (MBES), side-scan sonar (SSS) and magnetometers, our spread of equipment and personnel dealt with the full gamut of North Sea weather, whilst safely achieving all workscope objectives and completing this milestone project on schedule.”
