Oslo, March 27, 2017.  Following the successful completion of recent offshore tests of the A3000 node, inApril is planning another project trial this summer.  The trial will be carried out in cooperation with a major operator on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and will take place over legacy OBS data.  In addition to recording high quality OBN data, we intend to further demonstrate the safety, integrity and the game changing efficiency of the Venator OBN system by deploying and retrieving the equipment at up to 6 knots’ speed, which translates into production rates of up to 20-25 sqkm/day for a large node spread.
