    Brief

    The following description is applicable to Lot 1 and Lot 2: Geophysical survey in 30m to 60m water depths, including multibeam bathymetry (MBES), side scan sonar (SSS), magnetometer, sub­bottom profiler (SBP) and 2D Ultra High Resolution (UHR) multichannel seismic (best seismic source and settings to be determined by testing on site), with investigation target depth of 100m below seabed. Data processing, interpretation and reporting are required, with advanced data processing of 2D UHR multichannel seismic data as a mandatory option. Mandatory Option for both Lots: Advanced multichannel seismic data processing, with in particular: tailored deghosting stage to improve coherency of both shallow and deeper reflectors, source designature to reduce residual bubble energy, advanced velocity model for good stacking, demultiple fine tuning (SRME). Zero phase conversion is also required. Lot 1 includes around 3500 to 3600 km of survey. Lot 2 includes around 4750 to 4850 km of survey. Tenderers can submit offers for both Lot 1 and Lot 2
