ASKER, Norway – TGS has started a 17,500-km (10,874-mi) 2D seismic survey offshore northeast New Zealand, which it expects to completed during early 2Q.

Additionally, the contractor has begun acquiring the second phase of itsNerites survey in the Great Australian Bight off South Australia. This 13,000-sq km (5,019-sq mi) survey should also be complete during 2Q.

Last year’s highlights for TGS included completion of 5,400 km (3,355 mi) of a multi-year 2D program offshore northeast Greenland, 10% more than planned for the season.
