TGS Expands Multi-client 3D Seismic Library Offshore Indonesia
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PERTH, AUSTRALIA (21 March 2011) - TGS announces a second multi-client 3D
seismic survey in the Tarakan Basin, offshore Northern Indonesia. The survey,
TBB11, will add over 1,820 km(2 )of new 3D data to the previous survey announced
in December 2010. The TBB11 survey will increase coverage in this area to
nearly 3,500 km(2). The data is being acquired by the M/V Seisquest, with
acquisition expected to complete in Q2 2011.
The TBB11 survey will be acquired over the southern part of the offshore Tarakan
sub-basin, in an underexplored and poor data region. The area forms part of the
extensive Tertiary age play fairway covered by the earlier TBN10 multi-client
3D seismic survey to the north. The new data will assist in improving the
understanding of the complex structural and stratigraphic setting of this
important oil and gas province and particularly in prospect delineation and well
planning.
The TBB11 multi-client 3D survey is supported by industry funding and also
supports the Indonesia government's overall objective to attract exploration and
raise production levels.
