Oil and gas geoscience specialists TGS has begin 2D scanning of north-east Greenland ahead of the next round of licencing next year.
The NEG13 survey, which the company is carrying out for multiple cliants, is expected to generate 4,200km of seismic data with ice conditions around the region proving favourable.
“This new data will provide companies with dense data coverage over the licensing area and will be a significant addition to TGS’ already robust data library in the area,” the company said.
The M/V Akademic Shatskiy is conducting the survey, with the aid of the M/V Viking Balder icebreaking vessel. Survey data is expected to be available in the new year.
