    BERGEN, Norway – TotalEnergies has contracted Shearwater to acquire two 4D surveys over the Laggan, Tormore and Edradour fields west of Shetland in UK waters, with an option to include the Glenlivet Field.

    Shearwater’s Amazon Conqueror will start the two-month program shortly. This will be the first application in the area of the company’s IsoMetrix mapping technology.

    The seismic streamer combines standard hydrophone (P) measurements with two accelerometer sensors recording the seismic pressure gradient in the vertical (z) and cross cable (y) directions.

    Multi-component measurements (Pzy) enable 3D receiver de-ghosting, providing improved subsurface insight, Shearwater claims.
