Meanwhile, Torngat Extension 3D builds an additional ~3,000km2 on the company’s existing coverage from last year’s acquisition. This will create 6,600km2 over open acreage that is part of the South Labrador Call for Bids, also closing in November next year.

PGS Canada new ventures manager Neil Paddy said: “Canada remains a good investment for explorers and we experience significant interest for our multi-client GeoStreamer data in the Newfoundland and Labrador area as GeoStreamer data continues to enhance understanding and unlock new potential.”

In December 2019, PGS signed an agreement with Perupetro to create a new MegaSurvey in Peru.

Last June, PGS and TGS secured the Jeanne d’Arc High Density 3D (HD3D) multi-client project offshore Newfoundland, East Canada.
