Oil Patch Bits: PGS rides 3-D GeoStreamer wave to the North Sea

PGS said April 24 that it brought a 3-D dual-sensor seismic spread to the North Sea this spring, following a positive response from the industry.

“We expect data of unprecedented clarity from these surveys,” said Per Arild Reksnes, PGS Marine president EAME. “Numerous results from surveys in 2008 have demonstrated that the GeoStreamer provides improved imaging in a wide variety of geologies,” he said.

Enhanced seismic resolution, better deep imaging, operational robustness and excellent final results in all geological settings tested so far have demonstrated the GeoStreamer’s potential to create a step change in seismic data quality, the company said. The North Sea 3-D GeoStreamer season will comprise both MultiClient and contract 3-D data. The first project is a 1,600-square-kilometer survey for Lundin Norway, based around the Luno discovery in the Norwegian North Sea. For more information visit www.pgs.com.
