Dolphin Geophysical has been awarded and signed a contract for 3D data acquisition and processing of 10,000 square kilometres with Ophir Energy in Myanmar

'Ophir is continuing to act counter cyclically to expand its exploration portfolio' - Nick Cooper, CEO of Ophir

The work will commence in Q1 with a vessel already located in the region planned to tow an industry first configuration.

Atle Jacobsen, Dolphin CEO commented: "This large seismic contract award adds to our backlog of powerful solutions projects, where Dolphin's cost efficient wide tow configuration is the preferred acquisition solution selected by one of our large repeat customers."

Ophir was given the green light to develop its exploration and production activities in Block AD-03 in December last year.
