Shearwater GeoServices AS has been awarded a contract by TGS for the expansion of its Atlantic Margin multiclient program in the Norwegian Sea, the company said on April 11.
The project is expected to take approximately three months and is scheduled to be completed by the end of September 2018.
For the second consecutive year Shearwater has been awarded a contract for a seismic survey on the Atlantic Margin in the Norwegian Sea. The 2018 survey will cover 5,135 sq km (1,982 sq miles) and will be performed by one of Shearwater’s high-end 3-D vessels. The vessel will utilize FlexiSource and a wide tow spread, for which all Shearwater vessels are designed.
“We are very happy to return to the Atlantic Margin to work with TGS once more, extending the largest 3-D seismic survey in Northern Europe,” Irene Waage Basili, CEO of Shearwater GeoServices, said.
In 2017 Shearwater acquired 29,500 sq km (11,390 sq miles) of FlexiSource data for TGS, including 17,700 sq km (6,834 sq miles) for the TGS Atlantic Margin project. The 2018 season will bring the total area shot by Shearwater for the Atlantic Margin project to 22,835 sq km (8,816 sq miles).
