Geophysical Survey Start

On 30 April 2026, ORLEN Neptun launched a 2D seismic survey campaign covering the planned Baltic West offshore wind farm cluster on the Oder Bank — which comprises the four licences 14.E.1 (Energa MFW 1), 14.E.2 (Energa MFW 2), 14.E.3 (ORLEN Neptun III) and 14.E.4 (ORLEN Neptun IV). The campaign is executed by Polish geophysical contractor Geofizyka Toruń SA using a specialised survey vessel and high-resolution 2D multichannel seismic methodology. Scope: approximately 3,000 km of seismic lines investigating the geological structure of the sub-seabed to a depth of 100 metres. The works will take several months, and the data will feed into design analyses at subsequent project stages — in particular the dimensioning of wind-turbine and offshore-substation foundations on area 14.E.1 — and the planning of follow-on preliminary geotechnical campaigns scheduled later in 2026. The announcement also frames the contract as a local-content milestone (quoted by ORLEN Neptun CEO Janusz Bil).
