Wavefield Inseis today announced that it has been awarded its first 3-D contract for Geowave Endeavour by BG Norge Ltd.


M/V Geowave Endeavour, the new purpose-built 16-streamer vessel, will be delivered from the Fosen Yard in Norway at the end of June this year and after sea trials go straight onto the 3-D survey in the North Sea.


BG Norge is already utilizing the Wavefield Inseis vessel M/V Geowave Master, and the additional 3-D contract for Geowave Endeavour provides the vessel with a full backlog until the end of the 2008 North Sea season.


“The Endeavour is one of the world’s largest and most powerful 3-D vessels. We are delighted that its first project is for a current client, the oil and gas major BG Norge,” said Atle Jacobsen, chief executive officer of Wavefield Inseis. “Our new flagship is scheduled to be delivered within our predicted time frame in order to take advantage of the 2008 North Sea season.”
