BGP Crew 8652 announced the successful completion of the S53 3D TZ seismic survey for Saudi Aramco with a total workload of 1876 km2 3D, as well as a remarkable achievement of 3.5 million man-hour without LTI.

The project area, located on the east coast of Saudi Arabia, comprises terrains of desert, Gobi, seasonal lakes, and shallow water, along with infrastructures of industrial facilities, airport, oilfields, wharfs, offshore exploration platforms, plus convoluted subsea pipelines throughout the entire area. The complex surface conditions, coupled with a large number of workers and equipments had presented unparalleled challenge to engender a safe operation while meeting the client expectations.

The S53 project team integrated three different types of energy sources being vibroseis, explosives and air guns, to best accommodate different working terrains, and yet it is able to complete the project in 18 months almost five months ahead of schedule.

Without saying, this extraordinary accomplishment is the synergetic effort from all members of Crew 8652, supported by the unwavering commitment from BGP headquarters.

Vanoil has executed an agreement with the Chinese seismic firm Bureau of Geophysical Prospecting (BGP) for a survey over acreage in Kenya. BGP will commence the 2011 seismic data acquisition programs on Vanoil's 100% owned Block 3B in Kenya.

Under the terms of the contract BGP will acquire around 373 line-km, 320-fold seismic data. Completion of the data acquisition phase is expected by the end of September.

This is the second seismic program Vanoil has contracted BGP for. From further evaluation and understanding of the 2010 seismic program, Vanoil has decided to move forward with a second survey. Vanoil said that the data acquired in 2010 is currently being evaluated by Sproule Internationa and results are expected within the next few weeks.

Dal S. Brynelsen, president and CEO of Vanoil, commented, "We are very pleased to have executed a second agreement with BGP and look forward to engaging such a high quality organization to implement our seismic plans for Block 3B."

- BGP Concludes Challenging Seismic Survey for Saudi Aramco

Friday, June 10, 2011
BGP Inc.

BGP Crew 8615 announced the completion of the S54 2D seismic acquisition contract for Saudi Aramco.

In the 48 months since the commencement of the S54 seismic survey in February 2007, more than fifty thousand kilometers of 2D data were acquired. The work area was located in the desert and far away from the city, which made the logistical support to be extremely difficult. The most challenging issues are the complex terrain and dramatic changes of elevation, which greatly increased operational difficulty.

The effort of all members of Crew 8615, along with the support of BGP headquarters, enabled them to overcome many difficulties during the operation. The crew reached more than six million man-hours without an LTI. Outstanding performance in difficult terrain as well as a commitment to client satisfaction guaranteed BGP's success in this operation.

BGP Challenger Completes Seismic Survey Offshore Oman

BGP Challenger Completes Seismic Survey Offshore Oman

Monday, April 25, 201
BGP Inc.

In early 2011, the BGP Challenger successfully performed a 2D seismic survey in eastern offshore of Oman for Circle Oil.

The work area is located in Block 52, and close to the water areas of Somalia and Yemen, the piracy-prone areas. To make sure the project to be operated smoothly, BGP made rigorous security measures and emergency plan, and employed several security personnel from IBS, an international security company.

The acquisition program proved to be extremely challenging. The work area is covered by intensive fishing boats and nets, and islands. Even more frustrating for the BGP Challenger, was the unpredictable position and movement of the boats and nets. The experienced international crew on board coped well and has subsequently achieved excellent productivity.

The client is very impressed with both the productivity and the quality of data acquired by BGP. The BGP Challenger has demonstrated BGP's position as a leading geophysical contractor in the oil and gas industry.
