Abstract
Summary
Limiting the amount of time share to seismic interference as well as ensuring good data quality is a key factor for a successful seismic survey. Experience from previous seasons has shown that vessel to vessel coordination between different contractors can be challenging.
In 2015, due to the time constraints, all acquisitions over the Horda Tampen area had to occur at the same time. A third party contractor was given the responsibility of coordinating the acquisition plans of the acquisitions ongoing on the Visund field as well as on the Horda and Møre-Tampen multiclient surveys. Having an unbiased third party taking care of the coordination across the area made it easier to cooperate. It significantly improved the acquisition efficiency and ensured that the allowed seismic interference could be attenuated during processing.
