TGS has launched the Eastern Delta Refocus 3D OBS (ocean bottom seismic) imaging programme in the US Gulf of Mexico.
TGS has launched the Eastern Delta Refocus 3D OBS (ocean bottom seismic) imaging programme in the US Gulf of Mexico.
The reprocessing project marks the next phase of imaging over the mature, hydrocarbon-producing areas of Main Pass and Viosca Knoll. By applying advanced imaging techniques in this highly successful region, TGS will further illuminate the key subsurface structures and provide new insight into the prospectivity within the deeper Mesozoic section.
TGS plans to reprocess an area of around 2250 km2, helping E&P companies to fully explore the new plays in this area. The project started in Q1 2020 and final data will be available in Q4 2020.
Kristian Johansen, CEO at TGS, said: ‘This project has been launched after increased client interest in the area, with recent leasing of acreage and exploration plans targeting the highly prolific Norphlet play.’
Meanwhile, TGS has completed a ‘Geological Carbon Storage Atlas’ of British Columbia, Canada for a big oil and gas company.
The objective of the study was to provide the most up-to-date understanding of geological carbon storage locations, onshore and offshore, throughout the province of British Columbia. With its partner Canadian Discovery Limited (CDL), TGS leveraged its basin evaluation expertise, subsurface data library, and geological knowledge and experience of working in British Columbia, to create a framework for carbon storage assessment and an atlas for potential storage locations. Katja Akentieva, EVP of onshore & well Data at TGS, said the company was enabling its customers to evaluate carbon storage opportunities.
