Abstract

Summary

In 2022, bp had three proprietary deepwater ROV deployed OBN projects being acquired concurrently in different areas, with two different contractors, using different technology to solve different challenges and achieve different goals. These three concurrent projects provided an opportunity for making comparisons and gaining insights to inform future OBN surveys from design and operational perspectives.

The three main areas for comparison covers 1) node availability and inventory including the increasing demand for larger deployed node spreads, 2) ROV design and operations including further improvements to enhance nodal seismic acquisition and 3) personnel including the size and depth of the personnel pool as well as application of innovative technologies to enable alternative solution.
