TGS Launches Major 2D Seismic Survey in Sumatra Region
TGS, a leading global provider of energy data and intelligence, has initiated an ambitious 2D seismic survey in the Sumatra basin of Indonesia. This project will utilize the state-of-the-art HYSY 718 vessel from COSL and is set to cover approximately 5,500 to 6,500 line kilometers, with a strategic focus on two key areas.
Commitment to Exploration in Indonesia
This survey underscores TGS's dedication to enhancing exploration efforts in Indonesia. Earlier this year, TGS completed a multi-client 2D reprocessing project within the same basin, which integrated vital discoveries with available open acreage. This initiative builds on the firm’s extensive seismic datasets, which include both 2D and 3D data.
TGS's Insightful Approach
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, shared his excitement about the project, highlighting the recent significant discoveries in North Sumatra. He stated, "This marks our sixth consecutive seismic acquisition project offshore Indonesia. TGS is steadfast in its commitment to improve exploration efforts in this promising region. Our high-quality seismic data is crucial for understanding key geological concepts, thus expanding exploration potential into previously unexplored areas."
Future Prospects in Seismic Acquisition
The seismic data acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, paving the way for further developments in the region.
