TGS, Magseis Fairfield co-operate on North Sea wind/carbon capture trials

Offshore staff

OSLO, Norway – TGS and Magseis Renewables, a subsidiary of Magseis Fairfield, are collaborating on two new technology pilot projects for carbon capture and storage (CCS) and offshore wind.

The first will employ high-resolution 3D seismic acquisition offshore Norway at a potential carbon storage area to demonstrate detailed imaging of the full section from the seabed to the target storage reservoir.

The second project will use ultra-high-resolution 3D seismic acquisition over a wind farm location offshore Denmark known for near-seabed challenges to demonstrate application of a high-frequency source with TGS’ data processing technologies.

Both tests will combine TGS’ imaging software and Magseis Fairfield’s XHR acquisition configurations to confirm the resolution needed at costs indicated by offshore wind and CCS developers.

Acquisition should finish before the end of Q3 with final data available by the end of the year.
