Electromagnetic Geoservices (EMGS) and TGS have agreed to extend their cooperation agreement in the Barents Sea, Arctic Ocean.
Both firms will acquire further 3D electromagnetic (EM) data for ten new blocks in the Nordkapp and Tiddly areas.
EMGS and TGS will each hold a 50% share in the data.
The 3D EM campaign is expected to start in about two weeks using the Atlantic Guardian survey vessel and will take about two months to complete.
The campaign is supported by industry funding and EMGS said the contribution from TGS will be booked as a reduction of the carrying value of its current multi-client library.
