WGP Energy Services Ltd (WESL) has completed the 2D survey completed in the Russian High Arctic on behalf of State Sevmorgeo Company (SMG).

The works completed in the East Siberian and Laptev Seas were part of a program of works for the Russian State in the delineation of the country's continental shelf.

In order to work in Arctic waters, WESL converted and outfitted the Russian icebreaker 'Dikson' in the port of Kirkenes, northern Norway, which involved the installation of a combination of a Portable Modular Source System ('PMSS'), a seismic streamer and associated deck handling equipment. During the survey programme, the 'Dikson' was also escorted by the icebreaker 'Kapitan Dranitsyn', to act as a lead vessel through pack ice and provide replenishments for the 'Dikson'.
