MCG commences a new multi-client 2D in the Barents Sea

10 December 2013

The survey will cover geological plays from Jurassic and older on the Stappen High as well as proven Tertiary plays in the Vestbakken Volcanic Province to the west.

The M/V Akademik Nemchinov will acquire the data and the processing will be performed by PSS-Geo which has very good track record in these challenging areas.

The Nemchinov will first acquire 600 km further south to complete our Tromsø Basin MC2D before it commences the new survey.

MCG will now have a total of 38,500 km of high quality MC2D in the Barents Sea, of which approximately 32,000 km is a consistent 4 x 4 km grid for prospect mapping.
