SCAN Geophysical ASA announced that the company has been awarded a contract from GEMS International N.V. (GEMS) for a 2-D survey offshore Sri Lanka.


GEMS, a Belgian and UK-based company specializing in EEZ (exclusive economic zone) and UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea) studies, is conducting the survey on behalf of the government of Sri Lanka (DEOCOM) as part of its Outer Continental Shelf delimiting study.


SCAN’s M/V Geo Searcher is acquiring the survey.


“We are pleased to continue our work with GEMS in this region,” said Stephane Touche, vice president and chief operating officer of SCAN. “Having done UNCLOS work of this special nature in the past year, we expect to achieve good quality and productivity,” he emphasized.
