Reimaging central GoM

TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company (TGS) and Schlumberger announced a new multi- and wide-azimuth (M-WAZ) reimaging program for multiple clients in the highly prospective Central Gulf of Mexico. Final results are expected in early 2018, ahead of a period when substantial block turnover is anticipated. The new Fusion M-WAZ reimaging program comprises data covering more than 1,000 Outer Continental Shelf blocks from 3D WAZ programs previously acquired by TGS and Schlumberger with the WesternGeco Q-Marine point-receiver marine seismic system. This reimaging program will process data from the Mississippi Canyon, Atwater Valley and Ewing Bank areas using the latest imaging technology to provide a significant uplift in data quality for upcoming licensing rounds. The area will benefit from two licensing rounds every year for the next five years under the new Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s 2017-22 program.
