Gulf of Mexico: Atwater Valley 3D seismic survey set

TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Co., Houston, is to shoot a multiclient 3D seismic survey in the Atwater Valley area of the deepwater central Gulf of Mexico.

The Francisco survey expands on a previous shoot, and on completion the two will total more than 6,667 sq km of seismic data in the frontier area.

TGS will process the data using a proprietary broadband technique and make final data available to clients in the last quarter of 2014.
