TRONDHEIM, Norway — Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA (EMGS) has been selected as the acquisition provider for the NTNU ATLAB consortium.
The consortium was formed to study geophysical imaging of geological processes and has received funding from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, Aker, CGG, Equinor and NTNU's Centre for Geophysical Forecasting.
The objective of the ATLAB consortium is to collect a broad range of scientific data at the Mohn's ridge, including CSEM, MT, streamer seismic, node seismic, and both chemical and biological data for environmental purposes. All data will be acquired using the Atlantic Guardian.
EMGS has developed a deep-towed EM streamer system that has been designed for marine mineral exploration.
In addition to EM, the new system serves as a platform for the collection of numerous other data types close to the seabed.
EMGS CEO Bjørn Petter Lindhom said, "We believe the new [deep-towed EM streamer] system allows for the simultaneous acquisition of seismic and EM data for the purpose of shallow subsurface imaging, which could have applications in site surveying for offshore wind installations."
