TGS has started a seismic survey in the MSGBC Basin, offshore Mauritania, adding to its North-West Africa Atlantic Margin (NWAAM) 2D campaign.
The survey NWAAM 2021 comprises 7500 km of seismic data, with a modern broadband acquisition set-up. Data being acquired by the vessel BGP Pioneer is designed to illuminate the regional plays in the ultra-deep and deepwater areas with a new azimuth and to provide prospectivity insights of an oil-prone area in relation to recent key wells and the shallow water geology. This additional insight will enable explorers to build on the success the basin has experienced with the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim complex and surrounding discoveries. The project has a 60-day acquisition timeline, with fast-track data available three months after acquisition. The full dataset will be available by Q2 2022 and the project has the full support of the Mauritanian Ministry of Hydrocarbons, added TGS.
