Petroleum Geo-Services ASA and TGS will ramp up its 3-D seismic acquisition in Newfoundland-Labrador with two new multiclient 3-D seismic projects, a press release reported May 23.

These projects are supported by industry funding.

East Flemish Pass 3-D Phase II is a 1,950 sq km extension of a survey acquired by the joint venture in 2016 in eastern Newfoundland. The survey will extend eastward into Block EL1150, which will likely be drilled in the future, the press release said.

Harbour Deep 3-D will comprise a minimum of 2,700 sq km of 3-D GeoStreamer data in eastern Newfoundland, over held and open acreage to be included in the November 2018 licensing round under Newfoundland-Labrador's scheduled land tenure system.

Following completion of these surveys, the jointly-owned library will have more than 175,000 line kilometers of 2-D GeoStreamer data and 19,400 sq km of 3-D GeoStreamer data.
