OSLO -- PGS has acquired over 5,000 sq km (1,931 sq mi) of multi-client data in the North Sea this year, mainly in Norway. These surveys are the latest in a highly prefunded four-year campaign offshore Northwest Europe, the company says

Acquisition techniques included long streamer, HD3D, and MultiAzimuth. PGS employs a full range of technology to increase image fidelity at prospect level, with survey design and processing tailored for each area.

PGS is also engaged in reprocessing a large part of its central North Sea MegaSurvey, applying new processing algorithms, such as beam depth migration.
