Norway’s Electromagnetic Geoservices (EMGS) received an agreement worth US$4.3 million for multi-client data offshore the Faroe Island.
The agreement includes both late sales of the existing multi-client dataset, the Brugdan-Rosebank line that was acquired by EMGS in 2012 and pre-funding of an extension of the existing dataset.
The acquisition is expected to last approximately 10 days.
The new data will be acquired in September using the vessel BOA Thalassa, following completion of the $7.7 million Tullow Oil contract for 3D EM data acquisition in the northern part of the North Sea.
In July 2014, EMGS received a contract worth $2.7 million from OMV (Norge) and its partners in PL537 for 3D EM data acquisition in the Barents Sea using the vessel Atlantic Guardian.
In June 2014, Statoil’s Brugdan II well offshore the Faroe Islands was plugged and abandoned after finding no hydrocarbons.
