ASKER, Norway – TGS may have started multi-beam acquisition for the Brazil Southern Basins SeaSeep project in the Campos and Santos basins offshore Brazil.
This will cover the company’s existing surveys in the hydrocarbon-rich basins and the prospective presalt trend which contains many untested structures.
The 200,000-sq km (77,220-sq mi) coverage will be used to identify 330 target locations. Coring and geochemistry will follow, with data due to be made available in 4Q 2018 over the Round 16 licensing areas scheduled for next year.
TGS expects to issue final results for all areas in late 2019.
The industry-supported survey is designed to mirror the company’sGigante and Otos multi-beam and seep study projects in the Gulf of Mexico, conducted in 2016 and 2017.
