Bell Geospace與Onyx Engineering被授予FTG合同

Bell Geospace, the world leader in Gravity Gradiometry, together with Onyx Engineering, has been awarded a contract by multinational exploration business, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS).

The contract, for 3D multi-client Full Tensor Gradiometry (FTG) data acquisition, processing and interpretative services, will cover approximately 198,900 square kilometres. The provision of airborne FTG and magnetic surveys will be undertaken over offshore Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah and will commence subject to pre-funding requirements and approval by PETRONAS.

With its unique expertise and track record in high resolution gravity technology, Bell Geospace will provide a variety of expert services for the project. This will allow current petroleum arrangement contractors and potential bidders seeking new exploration blocks, to quickly identify prospective areas for quick and efficient understanding of complex sub-surface geology.

John Macfarlane executive vice president of Bell Geospace comments: ‘We expect that this data will play a significant role in the exploration process for companies working or considering working in Malaysia, allowing for the first time ever, a rapid selection of areas of interest for bidding and for planning for subsequent seismic acquisition and interpretation work.’
