TGS said the technology will better image deep structural elements and enhance subsalt, as well as salt flank illumination.
Early observations from the fast track migration of the Declaration project’s first phase played an important role in extension.
Acquisition of the extension is anticipated to be completed in the second quarter of 2015, followed by fast track deliverables and final imaging products in 2016.
TGS COO Kristian Johansen said: "Expanding the survey to cover the extent of the current Lower Tertiary Norphlet fairway will provide industry-leading data for current and future exploration and development objectives."
