TGS wraps up survey for Europe’s first commercial-scale floating wind farm

(offshore-energy.biz) TGS has completed an ultra-high-resolution 3D (UHR3D) seismic survey for the Green Volt floating offshore wind farm in Scotland, developed by a consortium of Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn.

According to TGS, the record-breaking survey integrated Multibeam Echo Sounder (MBES), Sub-bottom Profiler (SBP), Side Scan Sonar (SSS), and magnetometer data into a unified dataset.

This dataset will support geological analysis, inform site planning, and improve risk evaluation for the Green Volt floating offshore wind farm development.

This survey is the largest of its kind to date, setting new benchmarks in channel count and streamer spread, with the Ramform Vanguard towing more channels than any previous UHR3D survey and matching typical 4D GeoStreamer performance, equivalent to deploying 100 kilometers of 3D GeoStreamer in terms of samples per second, said TGS.
