World supplier of power information and intelligence TGS, in partnership with PGS and Schlumberger, has secured pre-funding for a 6,885 sq. kilometer (2,658 sq. mile) multi-client 3D seismic survey offshore Malaysia within the North Luconia Province of the Sarawak Basin.
TGS mentioned in a press release on Tuesday that this new acquisition was because of start in June 2023. The survey is the second section of a multi-year contract awarded initially by Petronas in August 2020 to accumulate and course of as much as 105,000 sq. kilometers of multi-client 3D information over 5 years within the Basin.
This survey builds on the preliminary section of this undertaking within the Sarawak North Luconia Province, which began in 2021 and coated 8,400 sq. kilometers.
