FairfieldNodal announced the successful employment of ZLand and Z700 cable-freeequipment on an Apache Corporation seismic test survey in the extremely challenging onshore and shallow-water region of Cook Inlet, Alaska.
Due to restrictive state and federal permits, the test took place on a condensed timeline from mid-March to early April of this year. Unpredictable ice and ground conditions in the area put additional demands on the operations.
Apache contracted NES to organize and test a variety of seismic recording and source systems to determine optimum equipment and acquisition parameters for potential future exploration over their lease holdings in the area.
FairfieldNodal contributed to the test by organizing and assembling its own true cable-free ZLand and Z700 recording systems, and installing a Z700 deployment/retrieval system on a local vessel. For the limited test, FairfieldNodal supplied 725 ZLand nodes and 200 Z700 nodes, plus support and operations personnel.
Operationally, FairfieldNodal components and support performed nearly flawlessly, a tribute to the team's efficient organization as well as the suitability of both ZLand and Z700 equipment for work in harsh environments; in this case, one of the world's most challenging regions for seismic operations.

At 8:00 AM Monday, April 18, drilling operations for the well had been successful in reaching 3075 feet, the designed surface casing point, preparations are being made to log this surface interval. On completion of logging surface casing will be set before commencement of drilling the next interval.
The next interval includes the Beluga Formation, one of several target objectives for the well. The Total Depth (TD) of the Kenai Loop # 1 well is 10,500 feet. The well is currently on schedule and expected to take approximately another 20 days to reach TD.
