TGS-NOPEC again expands multiclient 3D project

摘要

TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company has secured additional client prefunding and will expand again its ongoing Gulf of Mexico multiclient 3D seismic survey referred to as Deep Resolve. Located in the heart of the deep gas exploration trend, the project is now double its originally announced size and covers an equivalent area of 400 OCS blocks (8400 square km) in the Ship Shoal, South Timbalier, Grand Isle and Ewing Bank areas of offshore Louisiana (see map). Acquisition of the enlarged project is now expected to be completed in July 2005. Delivery of processed prestack time-migrated data commenced in January 2005. Regular ship- ments of data will be made over the next few months. The previously announced prestack depth migration of Deep Resolve utilizing TGS Imaging's latest wave-equation depth imaging techniques is also progressing on schedule.
