Seabed Geosolutions, a joint venture by Dutch-based company Fugro and Compagnie Générale de Géophysique (CGG), announces its first contract to provide a multi-client ocean bottom node (OBN) survey in the Mississippi Canyon area in the Gulf of Mexico.

For this 3D survey nodes will be deployed to 2,100 meter water depths, illuminating a challenging target area in one of the deepest offshore production areas in the world.
