Life on the
ocean wave
Shearwater owns the industry’s leading fleet of high-capacity towed streamer and ocean bottom vessels. You could say we have seismic and the seas at our command.
We began our adventure in 2016 with a highly experienced team of industry professionals and four modern, high-capacity towed streamer seismic vessels equipped and have since expanded rapidly. You won’t be surprised that, today, we have a fleet of 23 vessels.
Our fleet includes two specialist node deployment vessels. One is equipped as a shallow water node-on-a-rope-vessel (NOAR) and the other equipped with dual remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for deep water ROV node deployment. Both of these vessels are unique in the industry for their type as they have their own seismic source onboard too, so can deploy their nodes, perform the source activity and retrieve the nodes - all using only one vessel. Should other external sources also be needed, Shearwater’s large fleet of vessels means that we should always have a suitable vessel available in the region for source work without the need to subcontract to external providers.
Fleet flexibility
and availability
This fleet gives us the flexibility to accommodate all types of surveys for you – from large-scale, regional 3D exploration surveys, to focused 4D production monitoring, using towed streamer, NOAR, ROV node or hybrid acquisition techniques.
Also, many of our Explorer Class assets are ideally suited to working on ocean bottom projects, as they are equipped with dynamic positioning systems and source capability.
A FLEET TO MEET
ALL NEEDS
Combining acquisition systems means we can deploy the best acquisition configuration to meet the requirements of every survey design and technique.
This ensures exceptional results in even the toughest environments.
