PGS to survey two offshore wind farm sites

Jan. 25, 2023

PGS has secured its first ultrahigh-resolution offshore wind farm site characterization program.

An aerial view of a P-Cable spread shows the compact spread dimensions and closely spaced streamers. For this configuration, there are 18 100-m-long streamers separated by 12.5 m in the crossline for a total spread width slightly over 200 m.

OSLO, Norway — PGS has secured its first ultrahigh-resolution offshore wind farm site characterization program.

The seismic acquisition survey will cover two European sites, both in the development phase. PGS will mobilize a 3D vessel for the project in early April and should complete acquisition toward the end of June.

It will deploy its ultrahigh-resolution 3D P-Cable system, which is said to deliver more detailed subsurface data for shallower targets than traditional seismic acquisition systems.
