TGS to Conduct Major 2D Seismic Reprocessing Offshore Faroe Islands

TGS announces that it will conduct extensive reprocessing of over 13,550 km of 2D multi-client seismic data located in waters off the Faroe Islands. This project, designated Offshore Faroe Reprocessing 2011, will extend to the UK/Faroe border.

The data for the reprocessing has been made available by Faroese Earth and Energy Directorate (Jardfeingi). TGS will apply advanced processing techniques proven to have been successful in illuminating sub-basalt plays in the West of Shetland region over the last two years.

Data from the project will be available for clients in Q3 2011. This project is supported by industry funding.

TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company (TGS) provides global geoscience data products and services to the oil and gas industry for the exploration and delineation of hydrocarbon reserves.TGS  designs and acquires multi-client data projects worldwide that make up their data library of seismic, gravity/magnetic and well data, enhanced by the  seismic imaging technology and regional interpretation expertise.
