Energy data and intelligence specialist TGS has completed its three-year GeoStreamer X acquisition and processing project in the Norwegian Sea and has delivered the final dual-azimuth data products to clients.

With the completion of this project, TGS now offers over 21,500 square kilometers of high-quality GeoStreamer X multi-client seismic data available for licensing. This dataset provides a modern, high-resolution foundation for development, near-field exploration, and frontier exploration activities in one of Norway's most prospective offshore areas.

The GeoStreamer X project delivers an advanced, high-density dual-azimuth solution that complements existing GeoStreamer data coverage. The dataset is designed to address long-standing imaging challenges in the Halten Terrace region, enabling clearer interpretation of complex geological structures and identification of remaining exploration potential.

The Halten Terrace is characterized by complex structures formed by Late Jurassic rifting, which host significant oil and gas accumulations. The resulting horsts, tilted fault blocks, and Cretaceous basin-floor fans represent various play types, all of which benefit from enhanced illumination and broadband fidelity.

To achieve this improvement, the GeoStreamer X project utilized state-of-the-art acquisition technologies, including multi-sensor broadband techniques, dual-azimuth illumination, wide-towed source arrays, dense streamer spacing, and long streamers for robust velocity model building. The resulting dataset offers significant enhancements in fault delineation, structural imaging, and reservoir characterization.

The Executive Vice President of TGS Multi-Client stated, "The completion of the GeoStreamer X project marks an important milestone for our Norwegian Sea portfolio. This high-quality dual-azimuth data will provide strong support for client near-field exploration and development decisions for many years to come."
