The N.C. Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources’ Division of Coastal Management (DCM) has received the first consistency submissions for seismic surveying in the Atlantic Ocean associated with oil and gas resource development offshore North Carolina.
Spectrum Geo, Inc. and GX Technology are proposing to conduct separate Marine Geophysical Surveys using 2D seismic testing off the North Carolina coast.
The seismic shoot would be conducted to gather geological and geophysical data that could provide information about the potential development of offshore oil and gas resources.
According to the information provided, the Spectrum Geo survey would be conducted during the second quarter of 2015 and would involve two survey vessels towing seismic airgun arrays. The GXT survey would be conducted between July and December 2015, and would involve one vessel towing seismic airgun arrays.
