The North Tablelands 3D comprises around 5,000km² and will be executed by PGS’ Ramform Atlas using the PGS Geostreamer technology. It is expected to begin in June 2019.

Combined with the 2018 Tablelands 3D survey, the project encompasses the majority of open acreage included in the November 2020 bid round.

The second offshore seismic survey, Southeast Grand Banks 2019 2D, will cover approximately 13,300km. It will mainly include open acreage to be included in the bidding rounds of South Eastern Newfoundland (2021) and Southern Newfoundland (2022).

“The successful joint venture between TGS and PGS has consistently provided the industry with the highest quality data in advance of scheduled licensing rounds.”

Also scheduled to begin in early June 2019, the data acquisition will be carried out by the MV Sanco Atlantic vessel.
