HOUSTON, Dec. 9
– TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Co. is starting a multiclient 3D seismic survey on blocks 5 and 6 in the Gulf of Guinea off Benin.

Shooting will start in January 2011 on 4,000 sq km in deep water and end in the year’s second quarter.

This project is the second in a series along the African Transform Margin, following the Gambia project announced Oct. 5, 2010. Specialized data processing will be done at the TGS Houston imaging center.
