Seismic contractor Shearwater GeoServices has been awarded a large Ocean Bottom Node 4D Baseline survey in Brazil with the Brazilian national oil company Petrobras. The deepwater OBN survey will be carried out at the Jubarte Field in the Campos Basin. The 810 sq. km survey will start in the first half of 2021 and be conducted over a 3-month period. The survey will utilize the SW Diamond vessel operating Shearwater’s 3x3 source, equipped with three sub-arrays on each of the three sources, compared to the conventional two, which, according to Shearwater, allows "increased efficiency without source compromise."

The situation has left the state in a worse situation that other states, market sources say. To be sure, state-controlled Petrobras, which operates the refinery, said it is unaware of operational problems at Rlam. Issues with mooring vessels in Rio Grande do Norte and Paraiba have aggravated supply problems in the region. Covid-related complications at the port of Guamare in Rio Grande do Norte delayed the landing of a gasoline cargo earlier this month.
