On 30 April 2026 ORLEN Neptun announced the launch of a 2D seismic survey campaign across the area of the future Baltic West offshore wind farm, to be carried out by Polish geoscience contractor Geofizyka Toruń. Baltic West comprises four licences on the Odra Bank (Ławica Odrzańska), including Area 14.E.3 corresponding to the Orlen Neptun III project. The scope of work covers the acquisition of approximately 3,000 kilometres of 2D seismic lines and is intended to investigate the geological structure of the sub-seabed to a depth of 100 metres. ORLEN said the surveys will take several months. The 2D seismic data will inform foundation design, cable routing and the wider permitting work for the Baltic West cluster, including Orlen Neptun III, which ORLEN expects to deliver its first energy from 2034 onwards.
