Dolphin Geophysical's high-end 3D seismic vessel the Polar Duke will shortly commence acquisition of their remaining UK Quads 29 & 30 SHarp BroadBand High-Resolution 3D Multi-Client survey.

It is estimated that it will take approximately 5 months to complete the current planned survey coverage which was partially acquired last year. Dolphin's 'sister vessel' the Polar Duchess will complete the survey after the Polar Duke leaves the area due to committed contract work.

Phase-1 acquired last year, about twenty percent of the now programmed SHarp BroadBand 3D coverage, has already undergone extensive PSTM processing tests which were overseen by several companies using Dolphin's in-house proprietary OpenCPS software at their UK Centre. AVO and Inversion testing was also commenced last month and these results will be reviewed with committed clients during March.
