Norwegian survey company Electromagnetic Geoservices (EMGS) has increased its investment in hydrocarbon sensing equipment for deep waters. Provided by Atlantic Guardian firm Sonardyne International, the Ranger 2 Gyro-iUSBL system combines inertial navigation and acoustic positioning technologies to operate in depths down to 4,000 metres. The system uses electromagnetic receivers to detect the presence of hydrocarbons through more than 3 km of rock. The technology assists in mapping deeper reservoirs and reduces the risk of drilling dry wells.
