BENIN: TGS Expands Megasurvey to Reveal Untapped Potential

TGS, a global leader in energy data and intelligence, announces the expansion of 3D seismic coverage for its Benin MegaSurvey, in collaboration with Société Nationale des Hydrocarbures du Bénin (SNH-B). This strategic initiative aims to deepen our understanding of the region’s subsurface geology and unlock its untapped hydrocarbon potential. 

With this expansion, TGS will add 2,248 square kilometers of high-quality conventional 3D seismic data to the existing Benin MegaSurvey. The expanded coverage will span from the continental shelf to the slope, offering a comprehensive view of the area and revealing previously untapped exploration potential. 

 In addition to the seismic expansion, TGS has incorporated 10 wells into its RockAVO atlas. This advanced tool integrates seismic data with well information, offering explorers a powerful suite of capabilities, including: 

• Interactive Rock Physics Atlas: Explore rock physics models, analyze elastic properties, and visualize seismic AVO responses for detailed subsurface insights. 
• Well Data Integration: Access a wealth of well logs, rock physics models, and data atlases in a single platform, streamlining exploration workflows. 
• Scenario Testing: Screen for geological analogs, and assess lithology, fluid content, and porosity to de-risk plays and enhance decision-making. 
• Quality Control: Ensure data accuracy and seismic image integrity with enhanced quality control features. 

This expansion of the Benin MegaSurvey is a significant step towards accessing the region’s hydrocarbon prospectivity, providing invaluable data and insights to the global energy industry.
