Power knowledge and intelligence supplier TGS has expanded its multi-client knowledge library offshore Mauritania with the addition of over 101,500 sq. kilometers (39,189 sq. miles) of high-quality 3D seismic knowledge.
This growth provides to the present library of over 19,000 sq. kilometers (7,335.9 sq. miles) of reprocessed PSDM 3D seismic knowledge and a number of regional 2D seismic surveys, TGS mentioned in a media launch. Collectively, these built-in datasets present a extra complete and nuanced view of the subsurface, serving to to refine identified performs whereas revealing new exploration alternatives. This knowledge was launched in collaboration with the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, the corporate mentioned.
Preliminary insights are starting to floor by the mixing of regional geological experience and complete mapping of entice developments, which lengthen from shelf-edge wells to deeper outboard fairways. Considerably, the invention of Late Cretaceous channel-fan techniques throughout the basin area is providing a renewed understanding of the world’s hydrocarbon potential, TGS mentioned.
“With the extension of our offshore knowledge library with new 3D seismic knowledge, Mauritania is opening the door to a brand new period of vitality exploration. Our wealthy, underexplored basins and secure funding local weather make Mauritania probably the most thrilling frontiers for oil and fuel”, Mohamed Ould Khaled, the Mauritanian Minister of Power and Petroleum, mentioned. “We’re able to work hand in hand with worldwide companions to unlock this immense potential and ship long-term, mutually useful development”.
“Apart from drastically increasing the amount of high-quality multi-client subsurface knowledge in West Africa, the true worth of this in depth regional research lies in its skill to contextualize borehole knowledge throughout the world. By re-evaluating historic exploration outcomes – each successes and failures – exploration groups are higher geared up to de-risk future ventures and make knowledgeable funding choices”, David Hajovsky, Govt Vice President of Multi-Consumer, commented.
TGS mentioned it stays dedicated to offering industry-leading subsurface intelligence to assist assured exploration throughout frontier and rising basins.
