TGS Announces the World’s First Multi-Client Offshore Wind Measurement Campaign
16 Junho 2022 - 2:00AM
OSLO, Norway (16 June 2022) - TGS, a
global energy data and intelligence provider, announced the start
of the world’s first multi-client offshore wind measurement
campaign today.
The project will enhance and further validate TGS’ expansive
high-resolution coverage of numerical weather prediction (NWP)
model data by including highly sought-after floating LiDAR wind
measurements in the New York Bight area off the US East Coast.
This unique combination of trusted wind resource models and real
measurements will enable the most accurate forecasting of the wind
energy potential in the area.
The multi-client approach offers offshore wind stakeholders the
added benefits of reduced development costs and timelines, as the
TGS-deployed floating LiDAR will provide data and insights on a
subscription basis to many customers within the region with the aim
to enhance the knowledge and reduce wind flow modeling
uncertainties.
In this project, TGS is utilizing one of the world’s most
advanced floating LiDAR systems with the highest level of accuracy
(stage 3 validation) from EOLOS. The data will be acquired
continuously throughout a two-year deployment campaign, and the
data stream will be quality-controlled and made available to
customers daily. In addition to the LiDAR wind speed measurements,
the data package will include critical metocean and environmental
data such as significant wave heights, ocean current profile, and
acoustic monitoring of whales, dolphins, birds, and bats.
The data will be delivered via the Wind AXIOM platform, TGS’
comprehensive site evaluation and wind data analytics tool. Wind
AXIOM allows offshore wind developers and stakeholders to constrain
the most influential factors affecting the viability of offshore
wind projects, using wind models and measurements to answer
questions related to energy output, annual revenue, supply
fluctuations, and more. Wind model inputs are complemented by
a range of cost-influencing factors, creating a tool that improves
the quality and speed of decisions by offering a configurable
experience for various participants in the offshore wind
market.
Kristian Johansen, CEO at TGS, commented: “I am pleased to see
the momentum we are creating within the TGS New Energy Solutions
portfolio; our ambition is to generate actionable insights and
create pathways for the most efficient and highly accurate
assessments of new offshore wind lease rounds. This project is a
prime example of such development.”
Katja Akentieva, Vice President, New Energy Solutions, Western
Hemisphere added, “The LiDAR initiative demonstrates that TGS’
business models and digital capabilities are leveraged and
supported by the customers in the fast-growing offshore wind market
segment. Our recently developed Wind AXIOM data analytics platform
will be significantly strengthened and differentiated by the
inclusion of the floating LiDAR wind speed and metocean
measurements. We plan to expand this initiative in high potential
offshore wind regions in the United States and beyond.”
This project is supported by the offshore wind industry.
About TGSTGS provides scientific data and
intelligence to companies active in the energy sector. In addition
to a global, extensive and diverse energy data library, TGS offers
specialized services such as advanced processing and analytics
alongside cloud-based data applications and solutions.
About EOLOSEOLOS offers a combination of wind,
ocean and environmental turn-key measuring solutions and digital
services to the offshore wind industry. EOLOS obtained the highest
commercial maturity, known as Stage 3, in April 2022 as defined by
the UK’s Carbon Trust. Stage 3 signifies the highest possible level
of availability and performance, providing minimal levels of
uncertainty in site specific measurements. EOLOS’ products and
digital services gather data efficiently for offshore wind
developers and operators globally accelerating the development
phase while lowering costs and risk. EOLOS’ product,
the FLS200, is a multi-purpose, autonomous buoy that
integrates cutting edge sensors to measure wind, ocean and
environmental characteristics reducing uncertainty and inherent
risks during the development, operation and maintenance phase of
the Offshore Wind Farm. Learn more

Forward Looking StatementAll statements in this
press release other than statements of historical fact are
forward-looking statements, which are subject to a number of risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, and
are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove
accurate. These factors include TGS' reliance on a cyclical
industry and principal customers, TGS' ability to continue to
expand markets for licensing of data, and TGS' ability to acquire
and process data product at costs commensurate with profitability,
as well as volatile market conditions, which have been exacerbated
by the COVID-19 pandemic and the severe drop in oil prices.
Actual results may differ materially from those expected or
projected in the forward-looking statements. TGS undertakes no
responsibility or obligation to update or alter forward-looking
statements for any reason.
