EMGS secures pre-funding from Statoil for Barents Sea campaign
Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA (EMGS) is pleased to announce that it has secured pre-funding from Statoil to start an extensive multi-client 3D EM survey in the Barents Sea, ahead of Norway's 21st exploration licensing round.
The program presently stands at more than 4000 km2, and could be expanded subject to additional industry commitments. EMGS's multi-client data library in the Barents Sea will upon completion of the upcoming campaign cover more than 14,000 km2 of 3D EM data.
Carl Hutchins, EMGS president multi-client group, stated: 'This year's survey builds on our successful 2008 campaign and will provide our clients with a significant competitive advantage when it comes to evaluating the most prospective areas. Our final deliverable product is 3D full azimuth anisotropic inversion, another EMGS multi-client first. This important tool allows geologists to position EM data at the proper depth for integration with their seismic-derived prospects.'
Data acquisition will start shortly using the purpose-built vessel BOA Thalassa. Early delivery of 3D EM data will ensure that customers have ample time to apply knowledge gained from the EM surveys as a part of their bid preparation for the 21st licensing round in Norway.

Three service offerings - Clearplay Find, Test and Evaluate - have been designed to assist operators in the exploration and production phase. Clearplay supports each stage in the workflow, from survey design and data acquisition to processing and interpretation. The services enable integration of EM data with seismic and other geophysical and geological information to give explorationists a clearer and more complete understanding of the subsurface. This improves exploration efficiency, and reduces risks and the finding costs per barrel.
EMGS operates the world's first purpose-built 3D EM vessel fleet and has conducted more than 450 surveys to improve drilling success rates across the world's mature and frontier offshore basins. The company operates on a worldwide basis with main offices in Trondheim and Stavanger, Norway; Houston, USA; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Please visit www.emgs.com for more information.
