McGregor GeoScience Limited has conducted high resolution 2D seismic surveys for pre-drilling, geohazard evaluation for numerous clients worldwide. In addition we have also acquired deep-water, multichannel seismic along the Scotian and Newfoundland Slopes for the Geological Survey of Canada as well as having completed numerous seabed and subsurface surveys for the petroleum, telecommunication, transportation and mining industries both domestically and internationally.
Most recently McGregor has been contracted by Capricorn Greenland Exploration1 Limited, a division of Cairn Energy of Edinburgh, Scotland for the acquisition, process and interpretation of 2D high resolution seismic for a multi-year, multiple wellsite drilling program offshore western Greenland. In addition to 2D seismic the scope of work included acquisition of multibeam bathymetry with backscatter, subbottom profiler, side scan sonar and magnetometer data as well as a detailed environmental sampling program including box cores, gravity cores, grab samples, water samples water profiles and camera/videography for inclusion in an environmental baseline study. Work has been performed in 2009, 2010 and is ongoing in 2011. To facilitate this work and to mitigate the risk associated with the loss of Isopar (petroleum based) due to seismic streamer damage. McGregor purchased a 96 channel Sercel solid streamer and Sercel 408 recording system. To date the project has included in excess of 15 wellsite geohazard surveys as well as full environmental baseline studies.
