Norway’s Electromagnetic Geoservices (EMGS) is primed to start a 3D electromagnetic sweep off Senegal after winning the $4 million deal from Shell.
The shoot will be carried out using the new, purpose-built electromagnetic vessel BOA Thalassa and will start immediately after completing surveys in the Norwegian Sea.
The survey covers parts of a licence area where a number of hydrocarbon drilling prospects have been identified by the operator First Australian Resources.
The objective of the electromagnetic exploration programme is to enable Shell to determine whether to acquire a 70% interest in the license and subsequently enter into a well commitment.
