A new 20,000-km (12,000-mile) multi-client, 2D survey is being conducted over the northeast Newfoundland Shelf by TGS in partnership with PGS.

The seismic data is being acquired by the M/V Sanco Spirit. Data acquisition will continue into early Q4 2012. The vessel will return in 2013 to complete the survey. The survey area covers oil discoveries including Hibernia, Terra Nova, Hebron, White Rose and the recent Mizzen discovery.

Initial data will be available to clients during Q1 2013. The survey is supported by industry funding.
