Seabed GeoSolutions, a joint venture between Fugro and CGG, has been awarded a 3D ocean bottom node survey in the Red Sea in partnership with ARGAS.

The company said on Monday the project would require the acquisition and processing of high quality 3D data over a large area in various water depths. The surveys are scheduled to start early 2019.

The contract will be jointly executed and shared with Seabed’s partner in the Middle East ARGAS, who is the contract holder.

Stephan Midenet, CEO of Seabed: “We are very pleased to partner with ARGAS in order to provide services to Saudi Aramco on this high profile project using our best-in-class nodes and deployment technologies.”

Seabed GeoSolutions is 60% owned by Fugro (and 100% consolidated), the remaining 40% is owned by CGG.
