Operations, Market and Outlook

EMGS CSEM Multi-Client Survey – Utsira High North Sea

  • EMGS has secured prefunding of a CSEM Multi-Client program that covers PL1096 and open area available for the APA 2021 license round
  • PL1096 (Vår, Petoro, Neptune, Sval and Concedo) awarded in the APA 2020 license round with CSEM commitment
  • Program will be acquired with the Atlantic Guardian upon return from Mexico during the North Sea summer acquisition season
  • Approximately 1,000 km2
  • 2x2x2km receiver and source grid
  • ShelfXpress source

Reprocessing of Legacy Library CSEM data

  • State of the art reprocessing and inversion with the 3D Gauss-Newton often reveals hidden information in legacy data
  • EMGS is continuously "mining" the multi-client library for new project ideas
  • Example 1: Reprocessing of legacy 2006 data revealed that CSEM is sensitive to the Martin Linge reservoir and led to the Martin Linge and Liatårnet Multi-Client project
  • Example 2: Reprocessing of legacy 2003 data revealed that CSEM is sensitive to the Grane field and this led to the Utsira High Multi-Client project
  • The erroneous conclusion in 2003 that CSEM was not sensitive to the Grane field led to industry perception that CSEM was only a deep-water technology
