Reflect Geophysical
A new seismic company with experience and a solid backing.
Singaporean based Reflect Geophysical commenced operations in New Zealand in 2009 during one of the harshest down turns faced by the industry, and it is emerging to become a recognised international seismic acquisition company. Its founder, and CEO, David Lamb, adds this is largely because his management team are well known to the industry and have collectively over 200 years experience. “We are a new company offering substantial management and operational experience to satisfy our clients ”.
Following its successful venture into New Zealand in September 2009, the Reflect Resolution has completed over eight 2D and 3D seismic acquisition projects for various clients in all major New Zealand offshore basins testing the operational experience and expertise of its crew aboard this vessel. “Our operational performance in places such as the Great South Basin have demonstrate that we have our the technical capabilities and capacity to handle anything that is put in front of us” David adds “the reputation of our management team has enabled us to attract some of the industry’s best seismic crew to our vessels, our crew want to be part of something new, they want the opportunity to make a difference for our clients”
In late 2009 Singaporean listed company Otto Marine signed on as a principle backer to Reflect providing a complementary strength via its marine construction and vessel maritime management experience. Our relationship goes beyond financial and technical backing says David “We have a shared understanding of what it takes to be successful and we are aligned to provide dependable services to the offshore marine oil and gas sector”
With its considerable industry experience and strong backing Reflect has brought three vessels into production and has secured projects from West Africa, Caribbean, South America, Indonesia and New Zealand.
