OHM completes Barents survey

Offshore Hydrocarbon Mapping (OHM) and TGS-NOPEC have collaborated on an extensive multi-client Controlled Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) acquisition programme in the Barents Sea. OHM said the CSEM lines were acquired in record time, with operational efficiency onboard consistently improving, safely – the crew achieving a joint OHM & TGS HSE award, and with near 100% receiver reliability which will lead to high quality results for clients. Dave Pratt, Executive Chairman of OHM, said: “Our previous survey programmes with TGS have been very successful and highly popular with clients; OHM and TGS now have a wide range of multi-client CSEM data over 20th round blocks stretching from Møre in the South through to the Barents Sea in the North. “The value to clients from the data is significant, allowing them to better understand prospectivity of blocks as an aid to designing their work programmes for bidding in the 20th licensing round. “I am especially pleased that the Barents Sea survey programme conducted using the OHM Express went extremely well in terms of safety, operational efficiency and data quality.”
