SCAN Geophysical ASA (SCAN) today announced that it has been awarded a contract from Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA) for 2,680 miles (4,400 km) of 2-D marine seismic data acquisition in the Caribbean region.


The M/V SCAN Resolution, currently conducting a series of seismic surveys in the region, is scheduled to acquire the PDVSA 2-D program. “We are pleased to continue our working relationship with PDVSA,” said Stephane Touche, vice president and chief operating officer of SCAN. ”Being able to acquire both 2-D and 3-D programs at rates reflecting the current strong market with the same vessel and for the same company demonstrates SCAN’s success in achieving its dual goals of flexibility and efficiency,” he added.
