OSLO, Norway (8 June 2023) - TGS, a global provider of energy data and
intelligence, in a strategic collaboration with SLB, today announced the start
of the Engagement 4 Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) multi-client acquisition in the U.S.
Gulf of Mexico.
Acquisition of the 152 OCS block, sparse OBN survey is now underway, extending
contiguous data coverage from prior phases into western Green Canyon. In an area
known for increasingly challenging subsurface imaging, application of full-
waveform inversion (FWI) utilizing ultra-long offsets will provide a dataset
that represents a step-change in the conceivable geological and geophysical
interpretation. In support of existing leases and future lease sale acreage,
fast-track products will be made available in Q4 2023, with final processing
completion scheduled for H2 2024.
Kristian Johansen, CEO at TGS, commented: "Alongside our project partners, we
are excited to bring our sixth multi-client OBN project to fruition in the U.S.
Gulf of Mexico. Ever-positive, proven imaging results from prior phases support
continued application of these advanced seismic techniques, delivering
significant exploration value to our clients."
The project is supported by industry funding.
