OSLO, Norway TGS, SAND Geophysics and Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to provide early-phase ground condition and geohazard evaluations for offshore wind farm development.

In collaboration, the companies aim to support wind farm FEED studies and survey evaluation and design through the development of multiclient desktop studies across the global wind market. The partnership will develop joint products with the principal objective of creating an offering that reduces development cycle times at a cost-effective price point.

The companies will conduct detailed desktop studies utilizing relevant subsurface data to identify existing and upcoming site evaluation opportunities in both mature and frontier markets. The focus will be on optimizing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of ground model development for foundation and data survey designs.

The cooperation agreement follows a comprehensive desktop study that the NGI-TGS-SAND partnership has jointly provided as a multiclient product to consortia, which are preparing to bid for offshore wind development rights in Norway.
