Norwegian marine geophysical services contractor Shearwater Geoservices has been awarded a new ocean bottom node survey contract located in the North Sea.

The upcoming offshore seismic campaign will incorporate the deployment of electric remotely operated vehicles to support subsea operations throughout the project area.

Ocean bottom node technology is widely utilised across offshore energy basins to capture detailed subsurface geophysical data, relying on seabed-placed recording units to map geological structures.

The deployment of electric robotic systems forms part of the contractor's operational execution strategy for handling node positioning and subsea tasks during North Sea seismic acquisition programmes.
