Following the positive industry response to its new GeoStreamer® technology worldwide, PGS has brought a 3D dual-sensor seismic spread to the North Sea this spring.

The first ever North Sea 3D GeoStreamer® season kicked off early April 2009 and will comprise both MultiClient and contract 3D data. The program starts with a 1600 sq km survey for Lundin Norway based around the Luno discovery in the Norwegian North Sea.

“We expect data of unprecedented clarity from these surveys,” said Per Arild Reksnes, PGS Marine President EAME, adding, “Numerous results from surveys in 2008 have demonstrated that the GeoStreamer® provides improved imaging in a wide variety of geologies.”

The GeoStreamer® completely removes the receiver ghost. The related seismic data is easier to interpret, contains greater frequency bandwidth and has better signal-to-noise ratio than conventional streamer technology.
