The initial nodes from the company’s rental pool have already seen successful service on one North Sea project and are now being deployed on a second for a different OBN operator.
“This is the era of seabed seismic”, says Anne Camerer, inApril’s CEO. “We look forward to making an increasing contribution to the industry’s demand for state-of the art ocean bottom nodes in keeping with the need for cost-effective and sustainable survey operations.”
This summer, inApril´s total rental inventory 3,000 nodes will be available to the market. The kits feature the company’s flexible A3000 nodes suitable for both node-on-a-rope and deeper water ROV applications with extended battery life of 150 days and a depth rating to 3,600 m. The 20 ft (6 m) automated charging and staging container offers parallel loading and unloading of nodes to ensure operational efficiency plus redundancy.
The company has also started the process of adding 8,000 next-generation A4000 nodes to its rental pool with expected availability next year.
