TGS Announces New 3D Multi-Client Seismic Survey in the Campos Basin, Brazil. The Survey Will Cover Approximately 11,200 km2 Within the Granted Permit Area and Will Be Acquired by Shearwater Using the Amazon Warrior Vessel.

The Project Will Be Conducted by the Amazon Warrior Starting in Q3 2019 in the Highly Prospective Blocks of Round 16 Located in the Campos Basin. TGS Will Use Advanced Imaging Technologies (RTM) and Velocity Model Building (FWI) to Create Accurate and High-Resolution Images of the Prolific Pre-Salt Targets.

Fast Track Products Will Be Available in Summer 2019 Before the 16th Round, with Final Products Available in Q2 2020.

“Shearwater and TGS Have a Long-Established Relationship, and We Are Very Pleased to Further Develop This Partnership. Shearwater’s Amazon Warrior Is Equipped with Industry-Leading Qmarine Single Sensor Technology and Will Provide TGS and Its Clients with a Powerful and Efficient Platform for the Survey, Ideal for the Environmental Conditions in Brazil,” Said Irene Waage Basili, CEO of Shearwater GeoServices.

“TGS Is Pleased to Continue the Good Cooperation with Shearwater. The Use of Qmarine Technology Combined with TGS Processing Will Ensure the Highest Quality of Data Delivered to Our Clients,” Says Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS.

The 11,200 km2 Survey Is Expected to Last Approximately 8 Months, Including Transits. This Project Is Supported by Industry Funding.

The Amazon Warrior Is One of Two Amazon-Class Vessels in Shearwater’s Fleet. The Vessel Is Equipped for Worldwide Operations, From Harsh Arctic Environments to South Atlantic Conditions, Where the Stable Design of the Vessel Allows for Low-Noise Data Acquisition Through an Extended Operational Window.
