Sevmorgeo Joint Stock Company has purchased a Z700 marine system, which includes 1100 multicomponent nodes from FairfieldNodal for two shallow-water projects in Ecuador. The contract marks the first time FairfieldNodal marine nodes will be used in South America and the first time the St. Petersberg-based company will explore beyond the borders of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
The two companies signed the contract at the November SEG conference in Las Vegas. FairfieldNodal will deliver the Z700 nodes in January 2013 for separate 2D and 3D projects.
This isn’t the first time these two have worked together. “Sevmorgeo used Z700 marine nodes recently in the Caspian Sea,” FairfieldNodal VP Systems Division Manager Steve Mitchell said. “They told us they had obtained the best data they had ever recorded.”
Sevmorgeo CEO Mikhail Shkatov concurred. “The Z700 is simple to deploy and monitor, even in active or congested waters, and the quality of the data is excellent,” he said. “So it just makes perfect sense for us as we expand our operations to Ecuador.”
