France’s CGGVeritas has been awarded a multiyear contract extension by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) to undertake a highproductivity high-density onshore seismic acquisition project in Oman.
In addition to increasing the number of active vibrator fleets, the deal doubles crew capacity to 25,000 channels, making it the largest high-resolution seismic shoot in Oman, said CGGVeritas.

Work under the new deal will start at the beginning of 2009 and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2011.
