(offshore-energt.biz) U.S.-based TDI-Brooks International, contracted by GeoPartners, has finalized a seabed survey project for Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname, the country’s national oil company.
According to TDI-Brooks, the Suriname Seabed Piston Coring project involved the acquisition, processing, and interpretation of seep data, encompassing multibeam and coring operations over a 45,000 square kilometer area on the Suriname continental shelf.
Utilizing the vessel RV GYRE, the campaign unfolded in two phases: geophysical and geochemical. The geophysical phase, conducted from July to October, focused on multibeam echosounder (MBES) acquisition, backscatter analysis, and plume detection.
The geochemical phase, from October to November, added sub-bottom profiler surveys and core sampling, with a 1-kilometer chirp sub-bottom profiler line acquired at each core site, TDI-Brookes noted. In total, the company recovered 60 SGE cores and seven heat flow samples, yielding several hydrocarbon indicators.
