UK-Norway: Magnus basin 3D seismic shoot eyed

By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, July 5 – TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Co. will shoot a 3D multiclient survey on 1,100 sq km of the Magnus basin in the northern North Sea.

The new survey will include the southwest-to-northeast striking End of the World fault. TGS will also reprocess 6,500 sq km of 3D seismic in the same area. The M/V Geo Pacific will acquire the new data in the third quarter of 2011 towing 8 x 6,000-m streamers.

TGS will process the new and existing data for distribution starting late in the first quarter of 2012. The survey is supported by industry funding.
