The M/V BGP PIONEER was converted to a high-capacity seismic vessel in 2007. She is ideally suited for the acquisition of large 3D projects. The vessel is capable of towing 6×6000m streamers and dual sources, and to date has acquired some 3D projects in Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, China, etc.

HSE conform to all SOLAS, IAGC and OGP requirements. All systems designed and integrated for safe working conditions.

The seismic instrumentation consists of Sercel SEAL recording systems and Sercel Sentinel solid streamers.

The seismic sources consists of tuned arrays of Sercel G.GUN which are controlled by BigShot gun controllers.

The navigation system is ORCA, a real time integrated navigation system and an efficient solution for full acoustic bracing, streamer steering and depth control for 3D acquisition.

Seismic data processing is carried out onboard using the Landmark ProMAX seismic processing system or GeoEast seismic processing system.
