The survey covers an area of around 3,300 sq km (1,274 sq mi) in the Chidley basin and includes sections of open acreage offered in the Labrador South November 2021 bid round.
The area is within the Labrador Sea’s southern sedimentary basins where previous exploration identified hydrocarbons via the nearby Hopedale and Snorri discoveries.
Will Ashby, executive vice president of North America at TGS, said: “Torngat, the first 3D survey acquired offshore Labrador, will…be instrumental in assessing several amplitude variations supported leads that were initially evaluated with our comprehensive 2D library in this region.
“Our Labrador Sea seismic library is complemented by TGS well data, a regional crustal study, and basin-wide interpretation.”
