Bell Geospace Wins Ethiopian Airborne Geophysical Surveys

Wednesday, October 22, 2014

GPB Ethiopia Resources B.V. awarded the contract for the provision of Airborne FTG & Magnetic Surveys in the Gewane-El Wiha Block, Ethiopia (Afar Area) to Bell Geospace.

John Macfarlane, General Manager of Bell Geospace, said: “By supplying our client with an interim map of the region flown, we give them the flexibility to identify and prioritize the areas of interest. In addition, we intend to use our range of Full Tensor processes, which are exclusive to Bell Geospace, to maintain line spacing while benefitting from enhanced resolution, and Contact Lineament Processing, also a proprietary technique, which facilitates mapping of intrasedimentary structures not possible with conventional techniques.”

The survey will begin in January 2015, and Bell Geospace expects that the complete dataset will be available to GPB Ethiopia Resources B.V. within 28 days of acquisition.
