TGS has added more than 101,500 sq km of 3D data to its multiclient data library offshore Mauritania.
The new information, integrated with the existing library of more than 19,000 sq km of reprocessed PSDM 3D seismic data and various regional 2D seismic surveys, are designed to provide a more comprehensive picture of the subsurface.
Early conclusions include evidence of Late Cretaceous channel-fan systems, offering a fresh insight into the region’s hydrocarbon potential, TGS said.
"With the extension of our offshore data library with new 3D seismic data, Mauritania is opening the door to a new era of energy exploration," said Mohamed Ould Khaled, Mauritania’s Minister of Energy and Petroleum. “Our rich, underexplored basins and stable investment climate make Mauritania one of the most exciting frontiers for oil and gas. We are ready to work hand in hand with international partners to unlock this immense potential…”
David Hajovsky, TGS’ executive vice president of Multi-Client, added, “By reevaluating historical exploration results—both successes and failures—exploration teams are better equipped to de-risk future ventures and make informed investment decisions.”
