HOUSTON, Nov. 13 -- The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate let a contact to Electromagnetic Geoservices (emgs) for a proprietary seabed logging survey of the Troms II area near the Lofoten Islands off northern Norway.

Hydrocarbon detection is carried out by a low-frequency electromagnetic source towed across an array of retrievable receivers placed on the seabed. Emgs, which has conducted more than 200 surveys, recently ordered a fifth vessel to meet growing demand.
