Shearwater GeoServices to survey carbon storage sites in Liverpool Bay
Shearwater has been awarded a 3D multiple technology integrated geophysical survey, with an option for a second survey, for carbon storage in Liverpool Bay, UK.
The surveys, for Eni, will involve both bathymetric and 3D seismic surveys, to give high-resolution imaging of the overburden, as well as very high-resolution data for analysis of the seabed and shallow geology. A specialised shallow water seismic node crew will be utilised for operations in the shallow water areas.
The first survey is over the Hamilton and North Hamilton fields, and the optional survey is over the Lennox field. The fields are covered by a carbon dioxide (CO2) appraisal and storage licence (CS licence), where Eni intends to reuse and repurpose depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and associated infrastructure to permanently store CO2 emissions captured from the pre-existing local industries and the future production sites of low carbon hydrogen in the industrial district of northwest England and north Wales.
