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.
Oslo, Norway, December 7th, 2016 – inApril AS has entered into a close cooperation agreement with Profocus Systems AS, a Norwegian company developing recording software, data management, and real time quality Control systems for the high-end marine seismic acquisition industry. inApril has, as a part of the agreement, exclusively received the option to purchase 100% of the shares of Profocus Systems.
”Developing an even closer, and intentionally permanent relationship between our companies, is an important strategic milestone for both companies” said Vidar Hovland, CEO of inApril. ” Through this agreement, inApril secures access to a proven team of seismic software and firmware specialists that have played an integral part in our data management system development. Profocus will continue to focus on delivering solutions to marine seismic acquisition industry in addition to joining us in delivering disruptive technology for the new era of seabed seismic acquisition.”
November 27th, 2016. inApril last week successfully completed it’s first Venator pilot project for Geo Energy Group in the northern Caspian Sea. The vessel installation included nodes, onboard handling and Data Management. Concept Systems supplied the multi vessel navigation package. The pilot was a great success with no operational issues and demonstrated Venator’s great efficiency in shallow water and small vessel operations. The data will be processed by Geo Energy Group.
