NYK: Ocean Geo Frontier (OGF)

On April 1st, we signed a consignment contract with the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) for a new three-dimensional physical exploration vessel.

OGF used a new three-dimensional physics exploration vessel owned by JOGMEC

Domestic oil and natural gas: basic physical exploration

Sound waves are emitted from a device called an air gun in order to search for oil and natural gas that are present several kilometers below the seabed.

The reflected waves from the bottom of the sea floor and the boundary of the stratum are caught by a streamer cable longer than 8 km in length, and the ship is towing.

Get underground data. By analyzing this, the underground structure is grasped.
