TGS announces new multi-beam, seep study project in the MSGBC basin
ASKER -- TGS has announced its first regional offshore MSGBC SeaSeep Project in the Northwest Africa Atlantic Margin.
The program will cover an area of approximately 113,500 km2 and will incorporate around 230 cores from the seabed, located based on multibeam backscatter anomalies. Acquisition of the multi-beam will commence early fourth-quarter 2018, with the coring and geochemistry stage to follow. Final results will be available in second-quarter 2019.
"The data generated from the SeaSeep technology is proving to be a complementary and valuable addition to our multi-client library. The multi-beam, coring and geochemical analysis provides our customers with further insight and understanding of regional prospectivity. Following its successful implementation in the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil, we are pleased to expand the use of this technology into the emerging MSGBC basin," commented Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS.
The project is supported by industry funding.
