Community Offshore Wind began its geophysical survey campaign in January 2023. In July of next year, the company selected Fugro to conduct a geotechnical investigation of the lease area. The project is on track to become operational by the end of the decade.

“The acquisition of UHR3D seismic over the full lease will provide Community Offshore Wind with a solid foundation to develop their offshore wind farm site in the New York Bight. Our geophysical approach to mapping and understanding the shallow subsurface layers will reduce uncertainty and speed up site characterization,” said Carel Hooijkaas , EVP of New Energy Solutions at TGS. “We have received considerable interest in our solution from pioneering developers, and this high demand has driven our decision to invest in an additional UHR3D streamer set, which will be in operation in a few weeks’ time.”
