总部位于德克萨斯州的地震服务公司 SAExploration 周五宣布，在 2023 年采集季期间，中标了北海的两个海底节点项目。 

SAExploration 表示：“目前 SAExploration 已开始在挪威调集所需资产，生产将于 2023 年 4 月 15 日开始。预计持续时间约为 150 天。”

该公司通过社交媒体分享了这一消息，但没有分享更多的项目信息。

值得注意的是，该公司使用了 Sanco Star 和 REM Andes 海洋地震船来说明其公告。

据MarineTraffic称，REM Andes于当地时间周四11点45分从挪威克里斯蒂安桑出发，目前正以8.5节的速度向南航行，但目的地仅被描述为“项目区域”。

至于桑科之星号，这艘80m地震船于当地时间周四10点34分从克里斯蒂安桑出发，目前正以8.8节的速度向西南方向航行，根据AIS的数据，其目的地是海姆达尔油田地区。

然而，来自挪威石油管理局的信息表明，SAExploration 将使用这两艘船代表 TGS 在汉达尔以南的北海地区开始勘探，作为名为 TGS23202 的勘探的一部分。 

NPD 网站上的地图显示了 TGS23202 调查计划覆盖的 Balder、Ringhoorne Ost、Breidablikk、Grane 和 Svalin 野外区域。

值得注意的是，早在2月份，TGS就与CGG合作获得了挪威大陆架（NCS）Balder和Ringhorne地区密集海底节点（OBN）多客户端地震勘探的采集和成像合同。

“Heimdal Terrace OBN 勘测位于北海 Utsira OBN 勘测的正北，将覆盖额外 500 平方公里的接收器区域 (AUR)，将该地区的连续多客户端 OBN 覆盖范围增加到 3,778 平方公里 AUR 。 

勘测区域覆盖了北海的成熟部分，包括 Balder 和 Ringhorne 油田、Iving/Evra 和 Enniberg 油田，以及周边基础设施主导的勘探 (ILX) 区域，以便与现有基础设施建立潜在的联系。”时间。

两家公司在 2 月份表示，调查将于 4 月份开始，TGS 将成为整个收购阶段的运营商，目的是深入了解 NCS 这一部分的增强勘探机会。

Texas-based seismic services company SAExploration on Friday announced the award of two ocean bottom node programs for the North Sea during the 2023 acquisition season. 

"Currently SAExploration has commenced mobilization of the required assets in Norway with production starting on the 15th of April 2023. The expected duration is approximately 150 days," SAExploration said.

The company, which shared the news via social media, did not share further project information.

Worth noting, the company used the Sanco Star and REM Andes marine seismic vessels to illustrate its announcement.

According to MarineTraffic REM Andes, departed from Kristiansand, Norway, on Thursday at 11:45 local time and is currently sailing at 8.5 knots in the south direction, but the destination is only described as the "project area."

As for the Sanco Star, the 80m seismic vessel departed from Kristiansand on Thursday at 10:34 local time and is currently sailing at 8.8 knots with the southwest direction, its destination, according to AIS, is the Heimdal field area.

However, information from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate indicates that SAExploration, using the two vessels, is about to start a survey in the North Sea area, to the south of Handal, on behalf of TGS, as part of a survey named TGS23202. 

A map on NPD's website shows the Balder, Ringhoorne Ost, Breidablikk, Grane, and Svalin field areas as planned to be covered by the TGS23202 survey.

Worth noting, back in February, TGS, in cooperation with CGG, secured the contract for the acquisition and imaging of a dense ocean bottom node (OBN) multi-client seismic survey in the Balder and Ringhorne areas of the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

"The Heimdal Terrace OBN survey, located directly north of the Utsira OBN survey in the North Sea, will span an additional 500 square kilometer area under receivers (AUR) to increase the contiguous multi-client OBN coverage in the region to 3,778 square kilometers AUR. 

The survey area covers a mature part of the North Sea, including the Balder and Ringhorne fields, the Iving/Evra and Enniberg discoveries, and surrounding infrastructure-led exploration (ILX) areas for potential tiebacks to existing infrastructure," the companies said ad the time.

The companies said in February that the survey would start in April and that TGS would be the operator throughout the acquisition phase, with the aim of providing insight into enhanced exploration opportunities across this part of the NCS.
