BARROW-IN-FURNESS, UK — Spirit Energy has contracted Shearwater Geoservices to acquire and process a 3D seismic survey over the Morecambe Bay gas fields in the East Irish Sea.

The 500 sq km of high-resolution data will support detailed characterization of the subsurface and, with existing data, should provide confirmation of the potential for CO2 storage that Spirit has identified in the fields. The company recently secured a carbon storage license for the development from the North Sea Transition Authority.

It will be Shearwater’s fifth carbon capture and storage license in the past two years, with the six-week shoot taking place this summer.
