The project area covers more than 23,000 square kilometers of 3D data over this underexplored part of the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). The data will go through a comprehensive pre-stack depth migration (PSDM) flow to resolve imaging challenges in the area related to intrusive and extrusive volcanic rocks. The workflow will include advanced machine learning-based denoising, adaptive demultiple, and Dynamic Matching elastic Full Waveform Inversion (DM-eFWI).
The processing will be performed in stages with interim early-out products available in Q3 2026 and seamless full integrity volume available in Q2 2027.
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, commented: “As the industry sharpens its exploration efforts in more frontier basins, this dataset will enable E&P companies to reveal and derisk new prospectivity in this gas-prone volcanic basin. We are very pleased to secure funding and support for evergreening the multi-client 3D data in this part of the Norwegian continental shelf.”
