TGS announced the acquisition of a 3D multi-client seismic survey, The Nerites 3D, which covers 8,300sq mi in the Great Australian Bight, offshore South Australia.
The survey is scheduled to commence in early January 2014, and will cover two newly-released petroleum exploration blocks in the Great Australian Bight, designated EPP 44 and EPP 45. The blocks are mostly located in the Bight's deepwater Ceduna sub-basin.
Upon completion of this survey, the TGS total portfolio of 3D multi-client coverage offshore Australia will exceed 30,000sq mi.
The new seismic data will be acquired by the Dolphin Geophysical vessel MV Polar Duchess. Data processing will be performed by TGS using its proven Clari-Fi(TM) broadband processing technology. Preliminary data will be available to clients beginning Q4 2014.
