CGG and TGS Announce Sleipner OBN Multi-Client Survey on the Norwegian Continental Shelf
22 Décembre 2022 - 7:30AM
Paris, France – December 22, 2022
CGG, a global technology and HPC leader, and
TGS, a global provider of energy data and intelligence, have been
jointly awarded the acquisition and imaging of a dense ocean bottom
node (OBN) multi-client seismic survey in the Sleipner Area of the
Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
The Sleipner OBN survey, located directly south
of the Utsira OBN in the North Sea, will span an additional 1,201
square kilometer area under receivers (AUR) to increase the
contiguous multi-client OBN coverage in the region to 3,278 square
kilometers AUR. The survey area covers a mature part of the North
Sea that includes the Sleipner East, Sleipner West, Gina Krog,
Volve and Utgard fields, as well as surrounding infrastructure-led
exploration (ILX) areas for potential tiebacks to existing
infrastructure. Current production hubs in the area enable quick
transport of produced hydrocarbons, including significant volumes
of gas, to the European market.
TGS, will be the operator throughout the
acquisition phase. The company will apply its experience and
technical expertise in managing many complex OBN acquisition
programs in the North Sea and other regions to provide valuable
insight into enhanced exploration opportunities across this part of
the NCS.
CGG, the OBN imaging specialist, will apply its
proprietary OBN processing and imaging technology, including
time-lag full-waveform inversion, to create a high-quality 3D
volume that will enhance resolution and structural definition of
the complex geology and reservoirs in the region.
Sophie Zurquiyah, CGG CEO, said: “CGG has an
unrivalled track record of successfully conducting OBN seismic
imaging projects around the world and in the North Sea in
particular. Our geoscientists will apply this regional insight and
our very latest OBN technologies and expertise to deliver the
highest-quality OBN images to meet industry needs for the continued
exploration and development of the NCS.”
Kristian Johansen, Chief Executive Officer at
TGS, commented, “TGS remains committed to providing the industry
with world-class multi-client OBN surveys. We are leading the way
in supporting E&P companies as they seek to maximize resources
in regions with strong ILX activity, including those with
gas-derived exploration opportunities”
The acquisition will commence in June 2023, with
final processed deliverables due to be completed by the end of Q3,
2024.
The project is supported by industry
funding.
