ASKER, Norway TGS has started the Eastern Delta Refocus 3D ocean bottom seismic imaging program in the US Gulf of Mexico.

This reprocessing project marks the next phase of imaging over the mature, hydrocarbon producing areas of Main Pass and Viosca Knoll.

By applying advanced imaging techniques, the company will further illuminate the key subsurface structures and provide new insight into the prospectivity within the deeper Mesozoic section.

TGS plans to reprocess an area of about 2,250 sq km (869 sq mi).

This project is supported by industry funding. It began in 1Q 2020 and final data is expected to be available in 4Q 2020.

CEO Kristian Johansen said: “This project has been launched following increased client interest in the area, with recent leasing of acreage and exploration plans targeting the highly prolific Norphlet play.”
