Magseis receives award for survey off southeast Asia

Magseis, a Norwegian geophysical company, has received a letter of award for an operation in southeast Asia using proprietary MASS nodes.

Magseis said on Tuesday that the project included several “major oil companies” who jointly designed the survey.

Per-Christian Grytnes, CEO of Magseis, said: “We are delighted to win this project which further strengthens Magseis’ position as the industry leader with our MASS Modular technology.”

According to the company, the contract will begin in the third quarter of 2018 and will last for approximately three months.

The MASS Modular handling system consists of ultra-compact 4C sensor capsules, fully automated handling systems, and data download.

Magseis’ sensor weighs just over 8 kilograms and has a recording time of 65 days, and with its latest edition, the MASS III node has recording time of up 150 days.
