ION Geophysical Corp.’s ocean bottom seismic (OBS) company, OceanGeo, is mobilizing its vessels and crew to conduct an OBS survey offshore Nigeria, according to a news release.

A letter of commitment for the project was issued by an international oil company, and ION expects the contract will be finalized within the next few weeks, the release said.

“We will immediately begin mobilizing to the project site, expect to begin acquiring data in late June or early July, and to complete full demobilization by late in the third quarter,” ION President and CEO Brian Hanson said in the release.
