HOUSTON — TGS has inked an exclusive collaboration agreement with Apparition Geoservices GmbH. During the agreement term of four years, TGS and Apparition will collaborate through joint R&D and testing to fully commercialize Apparition technology in ocean-bottom node (OBN), towed streamer and XHR data acquisition programs. TGS says this collaboration will allow it and Apparition to jointly provide integrated, encoded simultaneous source acquisition technology to drive the next level of efficiency in seismic surveys.
Apparition has developed and offers, through its Seismic Apparition methodology, advanced seismic data acquisition techniques using multiple sources for seismic surveys. With multiple simultaneous sources, Seismic Apparition is designed to provide significant productivity gains, densely sampled shot grids, data with high fold and SNR and enhanced low-frequency content.
TGS says it will use the Apparition methodology to improve efficiency and increase trace density on its OBN and towed streamer surveys.
