TGS, a leading provider of energy data and intelligence, announces a new multi-client 2D-cubed project covering the offshore India Andaman region.
2D-cubed is a structurally conformable interpolation technology that transforms 2D seismic data into a regional-scale 3D volume. It enables interpreters to utilize the full capabilities of their 3D interpretation software on 2D datasets, enhancing geological analysis and facilitating teams' communication of subsurface plays with greater clarity.
The project is planned to cover 640,000 square kilometers, providing insights into the siliciclastic shallow and deepwater sediment basins of this region. The project area covers four of the OALP-X Bid Round blocks in the Andaman-Nicobar basin. A recent gas discovery offshore Andaman Island as well as ongoing deepwater well campaigns and recent gas discoveries on the Indonesian side of the Andaman basin, highlight the significant potential of this region.
David Hajovsky, Executive Vice President Multi-Client at TGS, commented, “This India Andaman 2D-cubed product extends our existing regional multi-client footprint and significantly complements our India multi-client data library. It offers operators a clearer, more detailed understanding of the subsurface, helping them evaluate prospectivity with greater confidence and reduce uncertainty in frontier exploration.”
By expanding our product portfolio in this region, we aim to equip operators with the insight needed to accelerate decision-making in one of the world’s most promising frontier basins. With demand for hydrocarbons growing at roughly 3% annually, India’s rapid economic growth underscores the need for continued investment in exploration, and this dataset supports companies as they assess new opportunities and plan future programs more efficiently.
Combining our extensive subsurface knowledge and imaging toolkit provides operators in the area with new opportunities to improve drilling outcomes.”
