Petroleum Geo-Services ASA: PGS and TGS Continue to Build MultiClient Library Offshore Eastern Canada
May 10, 2017: Petroleum Geo-Services ("PGS" or "the Company") and TGS-NOPEC
announce the expansion of their jointly owned MultiClient library offshore
Eastern Canada. The new Cape Broyle 3D survey, to be acquired during summer
2017, will comprise approximately 3,500 square kilometers of 3D GeoStreamer®
data in the South Eastern Newfoundland region and builds upon the MultiClient
3D campaigns acquired in the region over the last two years. Pre-processing of
the initial GeoStreamer signal will be performed by PGS, following which TGS
will perform data processing. Final data will be made available to clients in
2018, ahead of the 2019 licensing round under Newfoundland Labrador's Scheduled
Land Tenure system.
In addition, in mid-May, PGS and TGS will commence a 2D seismic campaign in East
Canada comprising approximately 22,000 line kilometers of GeoStreamer data. This
is the seventh consecutive year of 2D acquisition by the joint venture in the
area. Following completion of these surveys the jointly-owned library will have
more than 175,000 line kilometers of 2D GeoStreamer data and 14,750 square
kilometers of 3D GeoStreamer data. An expansive well log library is also
available in the region, along with advanced MultiClient interpretation products
that will improve play, trend and prospect delineation.
"We have experienced significant interest for our MultiClient GeoStreamer data
in the Newfoundland Labrador area, and continue to position ourselves for
upcoming lease sales in this increasingly attractive exploration region", says
Jon Erik Reinhardsen, President & CEO of PGS.
"This seventh consecutive season of data acquisition will expand our seismic
coverage in Newfoundland Labrador where we have a strong track record of
success. These projects will provide modern, high quality seismic data to E&P
companies to support their drilling activities and prepare for upcoming
licensing rounds," commented Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS.
These projects are supported by industry funding.
