June 19, 2019: Oslo, Norway, PGS and TGS announce the Jeanne d'Arc High Density 3D ("HD3D") MultiClient project in Offshore Newfoundland, East Canada.
The project will cover approximately 5,000 square kilometers and encompasses multiple exploration licenses, significant discovery licenses and sections of the open acreage included in the November 2019 bid round. The Ramform Atlas will perform the acquisition, utilizing the high-resolution GeoStreamer® technology. Acquisition has commenced and is expected to complete in late Q3 2019.
The Jeanne d'Arc HD3D survey borders Newfoundland's prominent producing fields such as Hibernia, Terra Nova, White Rose, North Amethyst and Hebron.
Following this ninth consecutive season of data acquisition in offshore East Canada, the jointly-owned library will have more than 189,000 line kilometers of 2D GeoStreamer data and approximately 56,000 square kilometers of 3D GeoStreamer data.
This project is supported by industry funding.
