Shearwater GeoServices has established a new Brazilian subsidiary ‘Shearwater GeoServices do Brasil Ltda’ and opened a new office in Rio de Janeiro.

The strengthened presence in Brazil follows Shearwater’s continued growth over the past 12 months, including extensive marine seismic acquisition offshore Brazil for a major multiclient company.

Shearwater will now offer a full range of marine geophysical services, including acquisition, processing & imaging, and software, in the Brazilian market to both local and international clients.

“As the global leader in marine seismic services, Brazil is a key market for Shearwater to be able to operate in as we expand our activities across South America,” said Peter Hooper, the chief commercial officer of Shearwater. “The stronger presence in Brazil will allow us to develop closer links with our clients in the region and move more quickly and effectively to meet their requirements.”
