Commenting on the development, 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 whilst benefitting from enhanced resolution, and Contact Lineament Processing, also a proprietary technique, which facilitates mapping of intrasedimentary structures not possible with conventional techniques”.

According to the press release by Bell, the survey is scheduled to begin in the coming January and a finalized dataset will be presented to GPB Ethiopia in 28 days of acquisition.
