TGS and Ghana Petroleum Commission sign Keta Basin seismic deal

Energy information and quality supplier TGS has signed an statement with Ghana's Petroleum Commission to present a caller offshore 2D-cubed seismic task successful the Keta Basin disconnected the Ghanaian coast.

The task aims to nutrient a unified subsurface dataset for 1 of Africa's important under-explored regions.

The archetypal signifier of the Gulf of Guinea 2D-cubed task volition incorporated information from 5,500km² of existing 3D seismic information and much than 14,700km of 2D surveys.

This accusation volition beryllium utilized arsenic input to make a 25,300km² 2D-cubed seismic model, spanning some the support and deepwater portions of the Keta Basin.

TGS' 2D-cubed process creates a unified, structurally accordant 3D seismic exemplary by combining assorted older 2D and 3D datasets.

An precocious method of interpolation is utilized to span gaps betwixt survey lines and trim bequest migration artifacts.

This attack is said to nutrient a seamless 3D dataset to assistance explorers and assistance successful evaluating opportunities passim the region.

TGS expects the last products to beryllium disposable successful the archetypal 4th of 2027.

TGS multi-client enforcement vice-president David Hajosky said: "The Keta Basin holds existent untapped potential, and our customers request a clear, reliable presumption of it to enactment with confidence.

"By bringing decades of 2D and 3D information unneurotic into a azygous 2D-cubed volume, we are giving explorers a ready-to-use instauration for imaginable maturation, reflecting TGS' continued committedness to delivering high-quality seismic information that identifies caller assets imaginable and supports expanding exploration enactment crossed the Transform Margin of West Africa."

The Keta Basin contains 1 of Africa's largest under-explored deepwater instrumentality systems.

The output of the task is designed to connection explorers a accordant presumption crossed the basin. It is intended to assistance with the appraisal and screening of exploration opportunities without the contiguous request for caller 3D seismic acquisition.

In November past year, TGS obtained the rights to marketplace and licence geophysical information from offshore basins successful the Comoros, an land federation successful the Indian Ocean, aft reaching an statement with the Gouvernement de L'Union des Comores and the Bureau Géologique des Comores.

"TGS and Ghana Petroleum Commission motion Keta Basin seismic deal" was primitively created and published by Offshore Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.
