TGS CEO Kristian Johansen discusses the exploration outlook for Brazil's Equatorial Margin and Pelotas Basin, the role of modern seismic in reducing subsurface uncertainty and why high-quality geoscience remains critical to offshore investment decisions.
Key Highlights
-
The Equatorial Margin combines large resource potential with improving subsurface understanding from modern seismic technologies.
-
TGS views Pelotas as a distinct frontier basin with similarities to Namibia but requiring drilling to confirm key petroleum system elements.
-
New well results and advanced 3D seismic are helping shift industry focus from petroleum system presence to commercial scale and repeatability.
