GX completes seismic surveys

Houston-based GX Technologies has announced the completion of its seismic data acquisition in the U.S. Chukchi Sea and the Canadian Beaufort Sea. The data acquisition involved very long offsets and a specially designed seismic source to illuminate geologic structures on a basin-wide scale. The Chukchi data, for example, will provide a regional 2D seismic framework for the entire Chukchi outer continental shelf area, the company said.

The surveys form part of GXT’s ArcticSpan program, comprised of approximately 6,500 kilometers of 2D data along the northern coasts of Alaska and Canada. GTX says that it will “commence delivery of the ArcticSpan dataset in time for customers to analyze the data in advance of the Minerals Management Service Chukchi lease sale scheduled for November 2007.”
