TGS has signed an agreement with Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA (EMGS) to jointly invest in a 3D electro- magnetic (EM) multi-client survey in the Barents Sea.
The shoot will cover 11 blocks (approximately 3,300 sq km) in the Hoop area, with the 3D EM data already being acquired by the M/V Atlantic Guardian. Data will be available to clients through both EMGS and TGS, with the survey supported by industry funding, said TGS.
EMGS will be given access to TGS’ 2D seismic data for survey planning and integration purposes, while TGS will obtain access to 3D EM data to evaluate and plan subsequent multi-client work over the area, it added.
