TGS, through its wholly owned subsidiary Arcis Seismic Solutions, will conduct three new 3-D-three-component (3-C) multiclient surveys covering 580 sq km (224 sq miles). The surveys, collectively titled Kaybob-Bigstone 3-D, are located in West Central Alberta near Fox Creek and will expand TGS' existing coverage along the Duvernay fairway.
The program is designed to assist in the evaluation and development of multiple zones from the Cretaceous to Devonian, including emerging plays such as the Duvernay and Montney, along with established producing zones including Swan Hills, Gething, Notikewin and Dunvegan.
By using multicomponent or 3-C acquisition and including reservoir characterization deliverables, these data will help to develop greater reservoir understanding and will provide industry with new scientific information to support exploration activities. Processing will be performed by Arcis Seismic Solutions with initial data available to clients in second-quarter 2015.
This project is supported by industry funding.
