PGS is planning new seismic surveys in the Barents Sea, Norwegian Sea, Viking Graben and Central Graben to support companies with work commitments after winning licences in the recent Awards in Predefined Areas (APA) announced in January 2020.
The company said that it already has extensive data library coverage over areas awarded in the licensing round and is also planning new studies to address a variety of APA work programme commitments, with existing library data, new acquisition, imaging, G&G analysis, and rock physics.
New production licences for 69 areas on the Norwegian Continental Shelf were offered to 28 companies in the APA 2019 round.
‘We have good coverage in the APA awarded areas, with opportunities to grow the recent GeoStreamer X acquisition, opening up prospects in this area with improved illumination and data quality,’ said Gunhild Myhr, VP new ventures at PGS. ‘Modern GeoStreamer multisensor data, preprocessed and imaged using the latest technology and tailored workflows will make it easier to find nearfield potential, spot hidden targets, rank, and derisk exploration in mature areas,’ he added.
