Norway-based geoscience firm TGS signed a joint venture agreement with Dolphin Geophysical to acquire 4500sq km of 3D multi-client seismic survey over the western part of the Hammerfest basin in the Barents Sea.
The survey will provide broadband seismic data over awards in predefined areas (APA) acreage not previously covered by modern multiclient 3D. Successful exploration of remaining resources in this area could provide the key to commercial production developments in this part of the Barents Sea.
The new survey is based and planned on TGS' and Dolphin's existing data and knowledge in the area. The new project links the existing Dolphin's Gotha 3D survey with TGS' Finnmark Platform 3D surveys and will provide industry with seamless data coverage over large areas in the Western Barents Sea.
Dolphin is mobilizing the Polar Duchess vessel for the joint venture.
