TGS has announced the launch of its Krishna-Godavari (KG) Basin Mega 3D reprocessing project. This initiative maximizes the value of legacy data through the application of modern seismic data processing techniques, providing crucial support for ongoing exploration and licensing in one of India's most productive hydrocarbon regions.
Spanning 16,900 sq kms of legacy 3D surveys, the KG Basin Mega 3D project will utilize cutting-edge broadband seismic reprocessing, including Pre-Stack Time Migration (PSTM), Pre-Stack Depth Migration (PSDM), and Full Waveform Inversion (FWI). These advanced methods will ensure contiguous, high-resolution imaging, enabling detailed exploration of Tertiary stratigraphic plays and deeper synrift prospects. Commencing in January 2025, the project is expected to deliver final advanced seismic products by April 2026, with fast-track data available in Q2 2025.
The KG Basin Mega 3D area encompasses 10,900 sq kms of open acreage over the upcoming OALP-10 bid round blocks. This will allow exploration and production companies to evaluate opportunities with improved clarity and confidence.
David Hajovsky, Executive Vice President Multi-Client commented, 'The Krishna-Godavari Basin Mega 3D initiative demonstrates TGS' commitment to advancing exploration capabilities in India. By enhancing critical datasets with the latest seismic reprocessing technologies, we can provide new opportunities and support our clients in maximizing the potential of this prolific basin.'
With a proven track record of successful projects, including the East Coast India 2D-cubed program, TGS continues to meet the evolving needs of the global energy industry. This initiative is a testament to our ongoing commitment to innovation and providing solutions that drive exploration in key regions around the world.
