CONTRACTS WORTH NOK 190 MILLION FOR ODIM

(Hareid - 17 March 2008) A contract covering automated handling systems for three-dimensional seismic surveying has been awarded to ODIM ASA by Eidesvik Seismic Vessels.

Worth NOK 190 million, this delivery will be made to the CGG Veritas/Eidesvik grouping for installation on two seismic ships to be built at Ulstein Verft in western Norway.

These Ulstein SX120 vessels will be equipped to tow 16 seismic streamers. The ODIM systems are due to be delivered in the third and fourth quarters of 2009.

“We’ve built up good relations with both customer and contractor over a number of years,” says Idar Hatløy, vice president for the seismic segment at ODIM. He reports that these are sixth and seventh Eidesvik vessels to be equipped with ODIM equipment where CGG Veritas (formerly Veritas) is the contractor. ODIM has also delivered several systems to CGG Veritas earlier.
