SeaBird Exploration adds West Africa work to 2026 schedule

SeaBird Marine seismic specialist SeaBird Exploration, part of SED Energy Holdings, has secured a contract for ocean bottom node (OBN) source work in West Africa. SeaBird will deploy the 2009-built survey vessel Fulmar Explorer for the campaign. The total contract duration, including mobilisation and demobilisation, is approximately three months. Mobilisation is expected to commence following completion of the vessel’s five-year classing, currently scheduled for August 2026. According to the company, the contract reflects continued demand for our OBN source capabilities and our ability to deliver reliable and efficient operations. “We are pleased to secure additional work for Fulmar Explorer, further strengthening our backlog. We continue to see growing demand for our services in this region, and this award positions Fulmar Explorer well for follow-on opportunities,” said Finn Atle Hamre, CEO of SeaBird.
