Seismic Survey
recent discoveries and regional appraisals indicate significant frontier exploration potential.” Te survey is being acquired in collaboration with the National Petroleum Institute of Mozambique (INP) and is fully supported by industry prefunding. It consists of more than 31,000 km of long-offset 2D data and covers the majority of the offshore territory of Mozambique where future licensing rounds are expected. WesternGeco has also begun acquisition of its Ice
Bear2 multi-client 3D survey in the western Barents Sea using its new IsoMetrix marine isometric seismic technology. Te isometric inline and crossline sampling delivered by the IsoMetrix technology will provide high-resolution broadband imaging in this geologically complex area. “Te Ice Bear 2 survey, which is supported
by industry prefunding, will improve the understanding of play potential and economic viability for hydrocarbon production in the region,” said Celine Blachere, vice president, Europe, Africa, Russia and Caspian. Ice Bear 2 lies to the north of the WesternGeco
Bjørnøya Ice Bear and West Loppa 3D seismic survey areas where the Havis and Skrugard discoveries were made. Exploration and production activities in the region have increased as a result of these and other discoveries in the area. Back in Africa, TGS has commenced acquisition
of a 2D multi-client survey offshore Sierra Leone. Te survey, SL13, will add 9191 km of new 2D data to infill the existing 5784 km of 2D data acquired in 2001. Upon completion of the SL13 survey, TGS will have approximately 15,000 km of contiguous 2D multi-client data and 6268 km2 offshore Sierra Leone.
of 3D data Te seismic data is being acquired by the M/V
Geo Arctic. Data processing will be performed by TGS and be available to clients in Q4 2013. In a busy time for the company, TGS is also
carrying out two 3D multi-client surveys in the Norwegian Barents Sea; Finnmark Platform 2013 (FP13) covering 3500 km2
and the Hoop to Fingerdjupet 2013 (HF13) covering 8600 km2 .
Both 3D seismic surveys cover areas of complex geology and are designed to address specific customer imaging requirements. Data from both surveys will be processed utilising TGS’ proven Clari-FiTM broadband processing technology. Te HF13 survey will also tie-in TGS’ successful Hoop 3D in the east. Te FP 13 survey is currently being acquired by the M/V Geo Barents towing eight streamers. Te HF13 survey is scheduled to commence soon and will be acquired by the M/V Oceanic Challenger with 12 streamers. Initial data from both surveys will be available to clients during Q3 2013. In another development, TGS has commenced
