TGS plans to utilise the Polarcus Adira chartered vessel for the shoot with the unit set to tow 10km streamers to image regional stratigraphy and deep basin structures.
TGS Western Hemisphere senior VP Rod Starr said: "This data volume will represent a continued investment in the deepwater region of the Gulf of Mexico and will provide new, high-quality data over mainly open acreage, which will be available to industry in future lease rounds."
TGS offers multi-client geoscience data to worldwide oil and gas exploration and production companies.
