TGS, PGS partner up offshore Canada

Norwegian seismic services provider TGS has announced a new multi-client 3D survey offshore Eastern Canada with plans to acquire approximately 4,300 km² of seismic data. This survey is conducted in partnership with PGS.

The Ramform Valiant seismic vessel, utilizing the PGS GeoStreamer technology, will acquire data in Flemish Pass Basin over the Exploration License (EL) 1135. Data will be acquired during the summer season 2015 with final data available to clients in Q3 2016, TGS said.

“This project will provide valuable data in this proven, oil-prone hydrocarbon basin enabling exploration companies to image structural and stratigraphic trends. This project is supported by industry funding,” TGS said in a press release.
