Norway completes Barents seismic campaign

Norway's Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has collected 5600km 2D seismic in the northern Barents Sea since July 18, it said today.

The acquisition is a continuation of the acquisitions which the NPD has conducted in the southeastern and northern Barents Sea since 2011.

Exploration director Sissel Eriksen said this year’s operation acquisition campaign finished nearly one month ahead of schedule.

“Due to good weather and few technical issues, the acquisition was even more efficient than planned,” she says.

The NPD used Dolphin Geophysics for the assignment and the survey was carried out using the Artemis Atlantic seismic vessel. The ship has now arrived Hammerfest for demobilization and crew change.
