    OSLO, Norway – TGS has announced Sophies Resolve Refocus 3D, an OBC and NAZ imaging program in the US Gulf of Mexico.

    The program includes approximately 6,175 sq km of reprocessed 3D seismic data to provide a high-quality regional product, helping E&Ps further explore new and existing plays in this area. TGS says that Sophies Resolve Refocus 3D marks the next phase of high-quality imaging over the mature, hydrocarbon-producing areas of South Timbalier, Grand Isle and Ewing Bank.

    By applying advanced imaging techniques utilizing its proprietary Dynamic Matching FWI imaging technology in this highly successful region, TGS says it will further illuminate the key subsurface structures and provide new insight into the prospectivity within the deeper subsalt section.

    Additionally, reprocessing the dataset provides a sustainable way to improve the subsurface knowledge in the region, further advancing the Company’s overall commitment to lowering environmental footprints. The project commenced in 2Q 2021, with final data expected to be available in 3Q 2022.
