ASKER, Norway ā€“ TGS has started its second 3D seismic survey offshore Benin, West Africa.

According to Stein Ove Isaksen, senior vice president Eastern Hemisphere, data from the 2,022-sq km (780-sq mi) multi-client BR-13 survey ā€œwill build upon current subsurface knowledge and provide improved imaging of deep Cretaceous and Tertiary strata.

ā€œInterpretation of this data will lead to better delineation of oil and gas prospects over the acreage surveyed as well as a greater understanding of adjacent areas.ā€

The 10-streamerBGP Prospector is performing the survey. TGS will handle data processing using its seismic multiple elimination processing technology, TAME.

Final data should be available from 3Q 2014.
