CGG Announces Largest OBN Multi-Client Survey in UK CNSParis, France – 19 November, 2019CGG announced today a program to deliver the largest OBN multi-client survey ever conducted in the UK Central North Sea (CNS). Planned to start in early 2020, the survey has already received significant industry interest and is being prefunded in part by BP. First results are targeted for Q1 2021.In the CNS, where complex salt diapirism has created significant challenges to imaging deeper reservoir targets, this new survey, with its long-offset, full-azimuth coverage and good low-frequency signal in a shallow water environment, together with CGG’s advanced imaging technology, will provide a step-change in seismic image and reservoir characterization quality. In the first phase of this multi-year program, CGG aims to acquire over 2,000 sq. km of OBN data.CGG is a leading geoscience company recognized for delivering high-end, high-value multi-client data sets.
