Bergen, Norway-based Dolphin Geophysical and multiclient geoscience data provider TGS are acquiring 4,100 km of multiclient 3-D broadband seismic in the Barents Sea, Dolphin said May 7.
The regional broadband survey will cover underexplored plays in Jurassic, Cretaceous and Cenezoic areas. The Polar Duchess, a Dolphin vessel, is using 12 streamers for the the Ringvassøy survey that will target the region of the Ringvassøy-Loppa fault complex, west of the Hammerfest Basin and east of the Tromso Basin. The open acreage is part of the Norwegian APA 2015, and part of the APA 2014.
The broadband coverage will cover more than 360 km over the acreage, moving north over the 23rd round acreage in the Loppa High and Maud Basin to the Wisting discovery.
The survey is scheduled to be finished in June.
