Venator – the complete and fully integrated OBN system
Venator is a complete seabed seismic system, designed with focus on integration between the Seismic Node, the Automation System and Data Management System. Our main objectives in the development were to:
- Combine streamer efficiency with Ocean bottom seismic data quality
- Reduce CAPEX for our customers
- Develop a robust and easy-to-operatate Ocean Bottom Node System
This is accomplished by:
- More equipment on the seabed combined with efficient deployment and recovery
- Same system covers all operational modes: Node-on-a-rope for both shallow and deep water, ROV deployment and Reservoir Monitoring
- Simplicity and reliability throughout the design
The solution is capable of acquiring Ocean Bottom Seismic at cost which has never been seen before, without compromising data quality. This step-change in cost-efficiency is expected to fuel the OBS market in the same way as improved cost-efficiency in the nineties fueled the 3D streamer market.
