SCAN Geophysical ASA announced that the company has been awarded a marine seismic acquisition contract by Canada-based Sherritt International Corp. that calls for two 3-D programs in the Caribbean region.


The M/V Scan Resolution, fresh from completing 3-D work offshore Venezuela, will conduct the Sherritt surveys. Acquisition is scheduled to begin this week and take approximately 45 days to complete.


Sherritt is involved in nickel and cobalt mining, thermal coal production, oil and gas exploration and production, and electricity generation.
