The survey was the first ever OBN seismic survey to be conducted in Egypt and the most detailed survey of the block since 1988. Neptune Energy has successfully completed an ocean bottom nodes (OBN) multiclient survey in the North West El Amal block offshore Egypt. The survey was the first OBN seismic survey to be conducted in Egypt and the most detailed survey of the block since the first acquisition in 1988. The process acquires more detailed data than standard technologies and is less sensitive to weather conditions which can impact traditional seismic survey vessels, according to Neptune. “It’s very exciting to have been involved in the OBN seismic survey, the first time the technology has been deployed in Egyptian waters, Gro Haatvedt, Neptune’s VP Exploration & Development, added.
