Engagement

Following the highly successful Amendment Phase 1 project acquired in Mississippi Canyon in 2019, TGS, in strategic collaboration with Schlumberger, has completed acquisition of the second phase of the ultra-long offset node project in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. This phase, "Engagement," extends the footprint of ultra-long data in the Northern Green Canyon protraction area.

This area is characterized by complex geology and multiple salt bodies, driving industry towards a new approach to illuminate the subsurface structures. The combination of ocean bottom node data, used to record ultra-long offsets and full waveform inversion, is expected to deliver a significant uplift to the velocity model which in turn will be used to amend the existing WAZ and Coil data in the area.

Acquisition of the project was completed in September 2020 and final data is expected in 2021. The Amendment and Engagement projects represent a new generation of survey design, with significant areas in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere that will benefit. The next phase, "Engagement," will extend the footprint of ultra-long data in the Northern Green Canyon protraction area. Gigante Crustal Study.
