TGS in New Deepwater GoM Shoot

TGS, a provider of multi-client geoscience data to oil and gas exploration and production companies, is continuing its Explorer Series seismic acquisition program in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

Panfilo 3D will add 11,500 km(2) to TGS’ multi-client library in the Lund and Henderson Central Gulf of Mexico protraction areas.

Acquisition will begin in Q4 2014 with the M/V Polarcus Adira towing ten kilometer streamers to image regional stratigraphy and deep basin structures. Data will be available in late 2015.

Rod Starr, Senior VP Western Hemisphere for TGS, commented: “This data volume will represent a continued investment in the deep water region of the Gulf of Mexico and will provide new, high quality data over mainly open acreage, which will be available to industry in future lease rounds.”

This project is supported by industry funding.
