Polarcus Limited has announced the purchase of a complete marine seismic in-sea acquisition system from Dolphin Geophysical AS, for a price of USD 11.5 million. The Streamer Package comprises 12 x 8100m active streamers and all peripheral in-sea equipment.
The purchase provides Polarcus with its planned seismic CAPEX requirements for the next three years, and is within Polarcus's previously guided CAPEX budget for 2016. The purchase is partly financed through a loan of USD 8 million which also improves Polarcus's cash flow in 2016.
