TGS is continuing its Explorer series seismic acquisition program in the deepwater US Gulf of Mexico with Panfilo 3D.
Panfilo 3D will add 11,500sq km to TGS' multi-client library in the Lund and Henderson Central Gulf of Mexico protraction areas.
Acquisition will commence in Q4 2014 with the M/V Polarcus Adira towing 10km streamers to image regional stratigraphy and deep basin structures. Data will be available in late 2015.
"This data volume will represent a continued investment in the deepwater 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," says Rod Starr, TGS senior VP Western Hemisphere.
This project is supported by industry funding.
In August, TGS announced the beginning of Snipe Phase 52, a long-offset 2D multi-client survey in the ultra deepwater US Central GoM. The 100-day survey includes 12,000km of data extending to the US-Mexico international boundary. SeaBird’s M/V Osprey Explorer is acquiring seismic data under a US$7.5 million contract. Final data for this project will be available in Q4 2015.
