The R/V BGP PROSPECTOR was launched in 2011 as a purpose-built clean-design  high-capacity seismic vessel. The vessel is a powerful seismic vessel with 100 tons pulling capacity at 4.0~5.0 knots, configured up to twelve streamers,   ideally suited for acquisition of large 3D, 4D, broadband and wide azimuth projects and allowing a variety of acquisition geometries.

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

The seismic instrumentation consists of ION DigiSTREAMER recording systems and DigiSTREAMER solid streamers.

The seismic sources consist of  well tuned arrays of Sercel G.Gun II controlled by DigiSHOT gun controller.

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 and 4D acquisition.

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