TGS Expands 3D Seismic Coverage with Benin MegaSurvey. TGS, in collaboration with Société Nationale des Hydrocarbures du Bénin (SNH-B), is expanding its Benin MegaSurvey with 2,248 km² of new 3D seismic data. This addition will provide deeper insights into the region's hydrocarbon potential from the continental shelf to the slope. The expansion also includes 10 wells integrated into the RockAVO atlas, offering advanced tools for enhanced subsurface analysis and exploration decision-making.

Join us at the Digitalization in Geoscience Symposium at GEO 4.0, where Executive Vice President for Imaging and Technology Wadii El Karkouri will take part in a panel session on digital transformation. Wadii and the panel will share their expertise on the transformative impact of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven insights—and how these technologies are delivering new levels of efficiency and performance across the oil and gas industry. They will also address how the human factor, alongside these cutting-edge technologies, remains pivotal in accelerating digital transformation at scale. At TGS, we are committed to driving innovation and improving decision-making with machine learning and artificial intelligence. 📅 Date: 22 October 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q02T33ts0 #TGS #EnergyStartsWithUs #Digitalization

Building a robust stratigraphic framework of a basin through efficient mapping of large-scale geologic formations is a crucial step for identifying and evaluating deep saline aquifers for subsurface CO2 storage assessment. In a recent First Break article, TGS experts share a novel workflow for developing a basin-scale stratigraphic architecture by integrating our Geoscience and Machine Learning capabilities.

It’s not unusual for TGS data and experts to be featured in science journals, but it's certainly noteworthy when their work appears in the renowned independent journal Nature garnering international media attention with the headline: "The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was not alone." The study, led by Uisdean Nicholson at Heriot-Watt University, saw TGS play a crucial role. In 2019, TGS geoscientist Felicia Winter shared data with PhD students conducting research on the Guinea shelf. Winter and Nicholson noted, "It was a head-scratcher; the unusual feature on 2D seismic imaging could have been anything—from a volcano to a gas cap collapse—but it didn't quite fit the expected patterns." By 2020, geoscientist Bill Powell and his team were finalizing new 3D data covering this feature, and it became quite clear they were looking at a Cretaceous impact crater of significant size, seemingly undisturbed and well-preserved. They interpreted the structure as a complex meteorite impact crater. "Sometimes, you see something truly spectacular," a conclusion Nicholson and his team had independently reached. TGS supported subsequent research, contributing to an application for steering an international ocean drilling project vessel to the Guinea shelf. Fast forward to 2024: the crater is now comprehensively mapped, the drilling campaign has been approved, and this significant discovery has been shared with the world. We are now eagerly awaiting the results of the drilling campaign in the coming years, which could further reveal new insights from this scientific breakthrough. ⚡ Quick digest: https://hubs.ly/Q02S7GvV0 📖 Full technical article: https://lnkd.in/eSptEadc #TGS #EnergyStartsWithUs #Nadir #Crater #Meteor #seismic

It's not just a pretty picture. The recent announcement by PETRONAS of a significant oil and gas discovery in offshore Peninsular Malaysia represents a great success story for TGS seismic. The Bekok Deep-1 exploration well discovery, located within the Peninsular Malaysia 3D Mega Merge seismic dataset, was initially identified using vintage seismic data.

Congratulations to Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V and PetroChina (CNPC) for signing production sharing contracts! The newly announced PetroChina Blocks 14 and 15 capture the easterly trend of the recent Suriname discoveries. In this location, we see potential to develop a variety of Cretaceous play types including fan/channel complexes, base of slope talus deposits and even sand-rich topset Tertiary targets. A consortium comprising TGS, Viridien and BGP has acquired over 13,000 square kilometers of 3D seismic data in Suriname’s shallow offshore region. This comprehensive dataset serves as a valuable geophysical tool for evaluating the vast potential of the area. Significant opportunities exist not only in Blocks 14 and 15 but also in the shallower Blocks 9 to 12. Don't miss the chance to review this dataset and uncover the potential of this promising offshore region: https://hubs.ly/Q02PTvpC0 #TGS #EnergyData #Offshore #Suriname Viridien BGP
