TGS Nopec Geophysical is currently carrying out a 3D multi-client survey in the Faroe Shetland Basin on the UK Continental Shelf side (West of Shetlands). The Erlend West 2012 (EW12) survey will cover 1,520sq km in Quads 208 and 217.
TGS said that the shoot is the industry’s first 3D acquisition in this northern area and covers the westernmost margin of the Erlend Basin. The project builds on the improved imaging shown within the reprocessed TGS North Sea Renaissance 2D data.
