Shearwater Geoservices has won work for multiple 3D seismic surveys to scope out carbon storage potential for Eni in the UK.
The work covers two separate surveys, all of which are in the Liverpool Bay area off England.
Shearwater said the first survey will involve a 3D multiple technology geophysical survey over the Hamilton and Hamilton North fields.
A second optional survey could then be carried out over the Lennox field.
The area is covered by a carbon storage licence awarded to Eni by the North Sea Transition Authority (formerly the OGA) back in 2020.
At the time, Eni said it plans to repurpose the depleted reservoirs to permanently store CO2 captures in North-west England and northern Wales.
Eni is the Cluster lead for Hynet – one of the first two projects to be selected for carbon capture and storage development in the UK in October last year.
Irene Basili, chief executive of Shearwater, said: “We are delighted to conduct this survey work for Eni, advancing UK carbon storage by deploying towed streamer, shallow water node, and very-high resolution methods.”
“Seismic surveys provide a safe non-invasive method for appraising CO2 storage sites, and monitoring storage integrity throughout their life.”
The surveys will be led by the SW Bly vessel, with each survey taking just under one-month to complete.
