TGS has commenced a new 15,000-km multiclient 2D seismic survey offshore Namibia. The survey grid covers open acreage and images the main prospective plays due for drilling in 2011/2012. Offshore Namibia is significantly underexplored and has the potential to hold large oil and gas discoveries. The mix of play types in the TGS survey area include basin floor turbidites, slope fans and channels, significant syn-rift structures and plays similar to those offshore Angola. Recent studies have also shown additional strong hydrocarbon indicators in significant structures. The seismic data is being acquired by the M/V Northern Explorer.
