Otway 3D Seismic Survey

TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company Pty Ltd (TGS) proposes undertaking a three-dimensional multi-client marine seismic survey (3D MC MSS) in the Otway Basin, in Commonwealth waters offshore from Victoria and Tasmania. 

The survey will provide 3D data coverage and improved subsurface imaging to provide an improved understanding of the subsurface, which has been limited to sparse 2D coverage to date. 

In accordance with the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage (Environment) Regulations 2009, TGS has submitted the Environment Plan (EP) for the survey for assessment by the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA). 

The 2023 Australia GHG Lease Round

In Q3 of 2023, the Australian government announced an additional ten areas available for CO₂ storage exploration to potential bidders.

Before final submissions closed in Q4 of 2023 applicants were required to supply detailed assessments of the work they would be performing to determine their suitability.  This included proposed engineering enhancements and environmental assessments as well as proposed strategies to conserve marine geography and ecology.

Asia Region THUMB

Asia Region

TGS has a wide range of planned and on-the-shelf seismic data across Asia, covering established hydrocarbon provinces in Malaysia as well as frontier basins in Timor-Leste and Indonesia.

Subsurface Interpretation

For the Geoscientist who needs regional subsurface knowledge, TGS’ multi-disciplinary Geoscience Interpretation group has consistently delivered best-in-class multi-client, basin-wide studies to the industry for over 20 years to reduce the risk, time and cost of the exploration-cycle.
