TGS has secured an offshore wind site characterization contract in the U.K.’s Continental Shelf for a repeat customer, the energy data and intelligence company announced Jan. 29.

The Ramford Vanguard seismic vessel will be used to sample the seismic wavefield to acquire high-resolution data of shallow subsurface targets for wind farm development. The vessel is equipped with ultra-high resolution 3D (UHR-3D) streamers to do so.

"We are very pleased to secure more offshore wind site characterization contracts, extending our success in this market during 2024,” TGS CEO Kristian Johansen said in the press release. “This project further highlights the integral role UHR-3D acquisition has in providing our clients with better seismic data and helping them make data-driven decisions for their wind farm developments.”

The 60-day contract will begin in the first quarter of 2025.
