TGS Targets Eastern Niger Delta with New 3D Survey
Energy data and intelligence provider TGS has launched the Nigeria Laide multi-client 3D seismic survey offshore Nigeria in partnership with the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and SeaSeis Geophysical Limited.The survey covers approximately 11,700 square kilometres within the Outer Fold & Thrust Belt of the eastern Niger Delta, one of Nigeria’s most prolific hydrocarbon regions.The Laide 3D survey is designed using the GeoStreamer dual-sensor system with long offsets, wide tow and a triple-source configuration.The acquisition is intended to deliver modern broadband
TGS Embarks on Multi-Client 2D Survey off Angola
seismic data critical for imaging complex pre-salt and top-salt structures as well as basin floor channel systems, significantly enhancing regional geological understanding.“Angola’s ultra deepwater margin represents one of the most exciting frontier exploration opportunities in West Africa. Our Ultra Profundo multi-client 2D program delivers high-quality seismic coverage needed to unlock pre-salt and sub-salt potential. By leveraging TGS’ acquisition and imaging capabilities, we will provide high-quality data supporting future exploration activities,” said Kristian Johansen
TGS Moves to Expand Multi-Client Seismic Data Activity in Libya
Energy data and intelligence firm TGS has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with North Africa Geophysical Company (NAGECO), a subsidiary of the Libya National Oil Corporation (NOC), marking an important step toward expanding multi-client data activities in Libya.The LOI establishes a framework that enables further multi-client collaboration with TGS, subject to final contractual arrangements and regulatory approvals.The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advancing high-quality subsurface data and supporting Libya’s upstream development through modern, fit-for-purpose data and technology
Viridien, SLB Set to Launch ‘Massive’ OBN Survey Offshore Egypt
Viridien and SLB have entered into an agreement with the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) to launch a massive multi-client ocean bottom node (OBN) seismic acquisition and imaging program in Egypt’s Eastern Mediterranean offshore.The largest project of its kind in the region, it will combine the recognized OBN expertise of both parties to deliver an unparalleled subsurface dataset for Egypt and international exploration partners.This project will give explorers and investors a clearer understanding of the region’s complex subsurface and help them identify new opportunities for
Viridien Completes Reimaging of BM-S-2 Multi-Client Survey in Santos Basin
Viridien has successfully completed the BM-S-2 seismic reimaging project in the southern Santos Basin, delivering a modern, high-fidelity 3D dataset across 8,468 sq km to support growing exploration activity in one of the most strategic, emerging offshore regions of Brazil.The project upgrades a large legacy survey with the latest advanced imaging technologies, including time-lag full waveform inversion (TL-FWI), to provide clearer definition of post-salt stratigraphy, improved visibility of potential direct hydrocarbon indicators (DHIs), and new insights into underexplored pre-salt plays. The reimaged
Shearwater Set to Start Multi-Client Survey Offshore Nigeria
to start at year-end 2025 and will be carried out by Shearwater’s high-end vessel SW Duchess over an expected two-month period.The survey will provide high-resolution subsurface data across the Western Niger Delta Basin, supporting exploration decisions and future license rounds in one of West Africa’s most prospective oil and gas regions.“This project underscores the growing momentum of our multi-client business and our key role in supporting exploration across key global basins.“By investing in high-quality seismic data, where we can both capture rapid returns and create longer-ter
Viridien Set for Seismic Reimaging of Block 22 Offshore Angola
Viridien has announced a new multi-client seismic reimaging program over Angola’s highly prospective offshore block 22 to support the country’s upcoming licensing round.The 4,300 sq km high-end data set will bring valuable insight into underexplored structures along the Atlantic Hinge zone, following the same trend as the proven Cameia and Golfinho fields.Fast-track results are scheduled for delivery in Q1 2026 and final products in Q3/Q4 2026.Viridien will reimage the block 22 data set with its latest proven proprietary technologies, including time-lag FWI, Q-FWI, Q-Kirchhoff and advanced
FET Books Two Work-Class ROV Order from Nigerian Oil and Gas Firm
chairs and console as well as FET’s next-gen control software, ICE Unity, enabling remote operations and 24-hour support.The delivery of the ROVs is expected in May 2026.“We are thrilled to be bringing our next generation work class ROV out of the testing pool and into action off the west African coast. MPL is a reliable and longstanding customer, and it’s a pleasure to continue to support the team’s operations. Africa is generally a difficult region to break into, but demonstrating FET’s latest technology in the field will bolster our presence,” said Kevin Taylor
TGS Gets Streamer Acquisition Job off Africa
Energy data and intelligence firm TGS has secured a streamer acquisition contract in Africa.Acquisition is scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025.The contract, with an undisclosed party, has a duration of approximately 50 days."We are very pleased to secure this work program and look forward to supporting our client’s exploration efforts in the region with our proven technology and expertise."By leveraging the Ramform acquisition platform, coupled with our proprietary GeoStreamer technology we are well equipped to deliver the highest data quality to our client," said
