TGS, a leading provider of energy data and intelligence, is announcing the award of another offshore wind site characterization contract on the UK continental shelf. The contract has a total duration of approximately 30 days.
The Ramform Vanguard will be used for these projects and is equipped with Ultra-high-resolution 3D (UHR-3D) streamers. The streamer technology samples the seismic wavefield at a high spatial and temporal rate providing high-resolution data of the shallow subsurface targets for wind farm development.
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, commented, "We are very pleased to secure more offshore wind site characterization contracts. Our geophysical approach for mapping the shallow subsurface layers with an ultra-high resolution 3D streamer is significantly more efficient than conventional site survey solutions. Energy companies value the shorter lead time we can offer to access high-quality data.”
