The other project involves 7,000km 2D Survey in the Pelotas Basin during the first quarter of 2021. The project will deliver depth imaged products in early Q3 2021, during the 17th Brazil license round.

The new data set will strengthen the existing coverage and will help in improving prospect mapping.

The company will utilise BGP’s vessel Pioneer for this project.

TGS CEO Kristian Johansen said: “We are pleased to announce three new projects and strong visibility for our Q1 2021 multi-client investments. Latin America is one of our key focus areas and despite the challenging market conditions, our clients are continuing to support our projects in this region.

“Strong, long-term partnerships with our suppliers allow us to share risk and reduce cash investments, which provides a unique opportunity to continue our counter-cyclical investment philosophy.”
