TGS, a global provider of energy data and intelligence, announced on June 21 that Sophies Resolve Refocus 3D, an OBC and NAZ imaging program in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. (Data quoted from TGS’s news release)

The program includes approximately 6,175 square kilometers of reprocessed 3D seismic data to provide a high-quality regional product, helping E&Ps further explore new and existing plays in this area. 

Sophies Resolve Refocus 3D marks the next phase of high-quality imaging over the mature, hydrocarbon-producing areas of South Timbalier, Grand Isle and Ewing Bank. 

By applying advanced imaging techniques utilizing its proprietary Dynamic Matching FWI imaging technology in this highly successful region, TGS will further illuminate the key subsurface structures and provide new insight into the prospectivity within the deeper sub-salt section. 

Additionally, reprocessing the dataset provides a sustainable way to improve the subsurface knowledge in the region, further advancing the Company’s overall commitment to lowering environmental footprints.

The project commenced in Q2 of 2021, with final data available in Q3 2022.
