On the 11th of February, 2009, BGP Crew 8622A began a 24-hour seismic acquisition operation in Oman for PDO. The Government of Oman holds a 60% interest in PDO, while Royal Dutch Shell has 34%. The project is operating smoothly, and production continues to improve.  The client has expressed its appreciation to Crew 8622A for its HSE management and effective organization.

Just as Rome wasn’t built in a day, BGP spent a great deal of time preparing for the operation.  Personnel had to be recruited and trained in the skills required as well as given special training in night operations.  Recording equipment was updated.  BGP also planned specific operations for different types of terrain.

Because of the efforts of all members of the crew, BGP has maintained an excellent safety record as well as high production. Outstanding performance in difficult terrain conditions as well as a commitment to client satisfaction will guarantee our success in Oman.
