Norway-based energy data and intelligence company TGS has won a contract for offshore wind site characterization on the UK continental shelf for a repeat client. The project, set to begin in the first quarter of 2025, will last approximately 60 days.
In June 2024, following approval from the Norwegian Competition Authority, PGS and TGS received final regulatory clearance for their merger from the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
The Ramform Vanguard seismic vessel, built in 1999 and sailing under the Norwegian flag, will be deployed for the survey. The vessel will utilize ultra-high-resolution 3D (UHR-3D) streamer technology, which captures seismic wavefield data at high spatial and temporal resolution, providing detailed imaging of shallow subsurface targets for wind farm development.
“This project further highlights the integral role UHR-3D acquisition has in providing our clients with better seismic data and helping them make data-driven decisions for their wind farm developments,” said Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS. “We are very pleased to secure more offshore wind site characterization contracts, extending our success in this market during 2024.”
