TGS to develop updated seismic data for Republic of Equatorial Guinea

In a statement, TGS said the agreement enables it to deploy its latest technology to reimage legacy seismic datasets of varying vintages, providing new insights into the prospectivity of Equatorial Guinea’s offshore basins.

By leveraging its capabilities, TGS will enhance subsurface understanding and support ongoing and future exploration efforts in the region.

Under the agreement, TGS will deliver an integrated approach to addressing subsurface challenges, combining advanced seismic imaging technologies with extensive experience in data acquisition and processing. The initiative is expected to play a key role in supporting exploration activity and helping to drive increased production across the country.

TGS executive vice president of multi-client David Hajovsky said, “Through this agreement, TGS can provide access to a comprehensive data framework, including local, regional, and basin-wide datasets through a MegaSurvey approach.

“This will enable more effective prospect, play, and basin evaluation. In addition, operators in the region will benefit from reprocessed data derived from original field tapes using TGS’ advanced imaging technologies, designed to overcome existing subsurface imaging challenges.”

The agreement also supports the acquisition of new broadband seismic data using GeoStreamer multi-sensor technology, delivering high-fidelity imaging across all target depths and enabling more accurate subsurface characterization and reservoir monitoring.

Regionally, the collaboration is expected to contribute significantly to the derisking of petroleum systems within the Rio Del Rey and Rio Muni basins.

“The creation of seamless and continuous datasets will support advanced play fairway analysis across these proven and highly prospective basins, as well as drive exploration and production success more efficiently,” said TGS.
