PGS vessel Ramform Titan has begun acquisition of the Cape Anguille programme, in partnership with TGS, covering existing lease blocks and open acreage offshore Canada. Acquisition is expected to complete mid-September 2021. PGS will deliver fast-track results in November 2021, and final imaging and interpretation products in Q1 2022.
The programme expands the PGS-TGS joint venture with another 10,000 km2 of GeoStreamer 3D coverage in Newfoundland’s prospective Orphan Basin.
Meanwhile, Ramform Atlas is steaming towards Canada where the vessel will start another multi-client campaign in the first half of June. PGS plans to keep the Ramform Atlas in Canada until mid-September 2021.
Rune Olav Pedersen, president and CEO of PGS said: ‘Canada remains a good investment for explorers and for the 11th year we experience solid industry interest for expansion of our high-quality multi-client library offshore Newfoundland. We will deploy two Ramform Titan-class vessels for the full season with GeoStreamer technology, a tailored towing configuration and advanced imaging workflows to deliver data that can provide significant insights to help derisk the prospects and plays offshore Canada.’
Kristian Johansen, CEO at TGS, said: ‘The Cape Anquille 3D survey will be instrumental in assessing potential prospects that have initially been identified from our comprehensive 2D library in the region. Leads have been identified from seismic and work supported by amplitude variations (AVO).’
Finally, TGS and PGS have launched the Lewis Hills 3D multi-client phase 2 offshore East Canada. Phase 2 includes the acquisition of 947 km2 of additional 3D data, tying into the existing project’s 2811 km2 to create one contiguous dataset.
