tgsvarA prominent provider of energy data and intelligence called TGS has announced the award of a 4D streamer contract acquisition project in the Barents Sea covering the Goliat 4D field operated by Var Energi.

The Goliat 4D project is scheduled to start in July with a total duration of approximately 20 days. The Goliat field was the first one to come into production in the northernmost area of the Norwegian continental shelf. It boasts one of the largest and advanced production units, including floating production storage and offloading (FSO) installations with permanent mooring.  

Infrastructure development and drilling projects initiated in the region contributes to production boost, enhanced recovery and asset lifetime extension. Since the first discovery of oil in 2023, several exploration wells have been drilled to connect the resources as tie back to Goliat. 

Solid acquisition campaign

Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, commented, "We are very pleased to secure more 4D work on the Norwegian continental shelf for the 2025 summer season. We already have secured one contract in the Barents Sea with a duration of approximately 45 days, and this award is scheduled to be acquired back-to-back. Adding on the recently announced multi-client project, we have built a solid Barents Sea acquisition campaign."
