Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind

Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind is a joint venture between Shell New Energies and EDF Renewables. The lease area has the potential to produce 2500MW of clean, renewable energy to residents across the mid-Atlantic Coasts, enough to power nearly one million homes.

The ocean survey and buoy deployment has begun in 2020, with the expectations of delivering electricity by 2026.

A Robertson Geo engineer was deployed onto the ‘Saentis’, a drillship owned by Geoquip Marine. The engineer ran a PS Logger® and 2000m Marine Winch system owned by Geoquip Marine (purchased from and manufactured by Robertson Geo). Seismic CPT and PS Logging were conducted on boreholes, up to the targeted depth of 80m. The location is the US Outer Continental Shelf within the New Jersey Wind Energy Area – 10 to 20 miles off the coast of New Jersey between Atlantic City and Barnegat Light, strategically positioned to provide energy to both New Jersey and New York.
