The strategic collaboration has a global scope, with an initial focus on the North Sea.

The agreement allows the consortium to acquire, promote and license multi-client seismic programmes, including new 3D acquisition and legacy data reprocessing, in the shallow water acreage offshore Suriname.

The technology, known as Harmony, provides seismic surveys with enhanced low frequencies enabling better decisions for exploration, development, and carbon storage monitoring applications.

Bluepulse is designed to help protect marine wildlife from high-frequency emissions while maintaining highly accurate and reliable results for seismic acquisition.

The drilling programme for well 24/12-7 relates to the drilling of a wildcat well in production licence 1041.

The survey will acquire over 6000 km2 of 3D seismic data and be acquired by the Amazon Warrior.

The survey comprises a 2-month 4D monitor survey in the Louro-Mostarda Development areas of Block 32.

The two blocks, G12-13 and H12-13, are adjacent to BW Energy's Dussafu licence offshore Southern Gabon.

Preliminary estimates by Vår Energi place the size of the discovery between 9 and 12 million boe recoverable (gross).

The well was drilled about 1 km west of the Solveig field in the North Sea.
