The NAN HAI 502 is presently operating for TGS-NOPEC acquiring TGS-NOPEC’s first non-exclusive survey in Sierra Leone, Africa. She will replace Zephyr-1 in Portugal when this vessel transfers to NW-Europe for operations in Scandinavia in late April.
NAN HAI 502 first project will be 5,000 km (+ 4000 km optional) in Portugal completing the regular seismic grid acquired in preparation and as basis for the first bid-round offshore Portugal expected to be announced later this year. So far, approximately 10,500 km has been acquired by TGS-NOPEC offshore Portugal and 4,000 km have been reprocessed. The NAN HAI operations will cover shelf-areas ranging in water-depths from 200 to 3500 m.
