TGS and FarifieldNodal will conduct two ocean bottom projects in the shelf region of the US Gulf of Mexico.

The two surveys include the Calypso Full Azimuthal Nodal (FAN) located in the Eugene Island protraction area and the Nessie FAN in the South Timbalier protraction area.
The Calypso will cover 136 shelf blocks and will be acquired by Houston-based FairfieldNodal using the Z700 ocean bottom node system. Historical production from Upper and Lower Miocene reservoirs will be complemented by new long offset full azimuth nodal data that will identify new reserve potential in this geologically complex area.
Operations are scheduled to restart in November 2014 and continue through 2015.
The Nessie FAN survey will coveer 54 blocks and in addition to South Timbalier, it will cover a number of existing fields and exploratory acreage.
This full azimuth data will provide significant uplift in illumination of existing Miocene reservoirs and emerging inboard Cretaceous and Lower Tertiary opportunities.
FairfieldNodal started the Nessie FAN survey in August 2014 and will complete it with partnerTGS in 4Q 2014.
Imaging for both data sets will be completed by TGS.
