TGS, a leading provider of energy data and intelligence, announces the Nigeria Laide multi-client 3D survey, acquired in partnership with the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and SeaSeis Geophysical Limited. The survey lies within the Outer Fold & Thrust Belt of the eastern Niger Delta, one of Nigeria锟絪 most prolific hydrocarbon regions and covers approximately 11,700 square kilometers.
The Laide multi-client 3D survey design is based on the GeoStreamer dual-sensor system, long offsets, wide tow, and a triple-source configuration, delivering modern broadband seismic data that supports full-integrity PSTM and Q-PSDM through advanced Elastic FWI-driven velocity model building. The implementation of this technology enables explorers to overcome the complex geological challenges of the deepwater eastern Niger Delta, including stacked toe-thrust structures, elongate anticlines (e.g. Bolia锟紺hota), inner fold-and-thrust-belt geometries, and shale diapirs/mud volcanoes. The modern, high-fidelity 3D seismic data provides operators with the data quality required to evaluate prospects with greater confidence.
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, commented, 锟絅igeria continues to play a crucial role in the global supply of oil and gas. The expansion of our multi-client library in Nigeria in partnership with the government through the Laide 3D showcases our commitment to furthering hydrocarbon exploration in the region. By utilizing industry-trusted acquisition solutions, TGS provides insights that accelerate exploration activity and allow operators to fulfil their exploration ambitions.锟�
The survey is supported by industry funding.
