CGG has announced a new multi-client 3D survey in the Northern North Sea, which will provide a second azimuth over its existing Northern Viking Graben (NVG) multi-client 3D survey and extend into open acreage on offer in the UK 32 nd Licensing Round.
CGG has announced a new multi-client 3D survey in the Northern North Sea, which will provide a second azimuth over its existing Northern Viking Graben (NVG) multi-client 3D survey and extend into open acreage on offer in the UK 32nd Licensing Round.
The survey will acquire approx. 2000 km2 of additional data in an E-W direction. This new data will be processed together with the existing N-S data, using CGG’s latest velocity modelling and imaging technology, to produce a dual-azimuth volume. The added azimuth will specifically address and improve the imaging of multi-directional fault patterns prevalent in the region. Improved resolution will help to resolve complex and marginal reservoir stratigraphy.
Sophie Zurquiyah, CEO, CGG, said: ‘This new survey is the first in a planned multi-year project. Leveraging our strategic partner, Shearwater GeoServices, it draws on CGG’s extensive understanding of the Northern Viking Graben and builds on our 44,000 km2 of existing coverage in the Northern North Sea.’
