NCS Licensing Rounds
Best-in-class seismic and well data with expertise to support both E&P and CCUS developments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf
CGG have been on the NCS from the start, pioneering seismic technology and geoscience integration
Whether its prospecting for natural resources or subsurface carbon storage sites, CGG provides the highest-quality images of the subsurface and an integrated geoscience approach to reservoir characterization to help you confidently explore, rank and de-risk licensing opportunities.
APA
CGG has a consistent regional dataset in the Northern North Sea, covering APA 2022 licenses awarded over the Northern Viking Graben. On top of >44,000 km2 of high-quality North-South PSDM data, CGG's NVG East-West 3D dataset, acquired perpendicular to the strike and with a triple-source configuration, caters to the area's complexities to improve imaging of all prospective play intervals.
Carbon storage licensing
For the fifth time the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy has announced acreage for CO2 storage on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, and in 2022, the NSTA commenced the first carbon storage licensing round, awarding offshore acerage for CO2 appraisal and storage licensing as part of UK decarbonisation incentives.
CGG is well positioned to support continued carbon storage licensing in the region with long-standing subsurface expertise, storage evaluation, reservoir modeling, engineering, instrumentation and monitoring.
