PGS wins offshore wind site survey contract
Oslo-listed seismic player PGS has secured an offshore wind site survey contract in Europe.
Mobilisation for an unnamed project is scheduled for early July, and the campaign will last approximately two months.
The project will be acquired with PGS’ ultra-high-resolution 3D streamer, providing significantly more detailed subsurface data for shallower targets compared to traditional seismic acquisition systems, the company said.
PGS won its first wind farm site survey project last year, and the company’s president and chief executive, Rune Olav Pedersen, said the latest contract award extends PGS’ visibility for its offshore wind operations through the third quarter.
“There is a significant volume of offshore wind site characterisation projects out for tender, and we expect increasing activity going forward,” Pedersen noted.
