PGS and TGS Expand MultiClient Coverage Offshore Brazil

07 Dec 2022 07:00 CET

December 7, 2022, Oslo, Norway: PGS, in collaboration with TGS, has secured pre-
funding for the Santos Sul MultiClient 3D project in the southwest Santos Basin
offshore Brazil. The PGS/TGS collaboration combines the operational and
technical strengths of both companies to provide high quality MultiClient data
and timely delivery, which are critical to the exploration efforts in this area.

The survey will cover more than 15,000 square kilometers of both open acreage
made available by ANP via the new Permanent Offer mechanism ("POR"), and the
exploration blocks recently awarded in the 17(th) Concession bid round and
3(rd) Cycle of the POR.

The Ramform Tethys will mobilize for the survey in January 2023 and acquisition
is scheduled to complete in August 2023.

"We experience continued exploration interest offshore Brazil where the
combination of the Ramform designed vessels and GeoStreamer technology is in
strong demand. The Santos Sul MultiClient survey expands PGS and TGS 3D data
coverage in Brazil and will provide high quality data essential for the
exploration of these newly awarded blocks. The PGS/TGS collaboration in this
portion of the Santos basin also provides coverage over a wider area available
through the permanent offer licensing round," says President & CEO of PGS, Rune
Olav Pedersen.

"We are pleased to announce this joint venture with PGS, further strengthening
our 3D data library and position in Brazil. The Santos Sul 3D project will be
instrumental in providing invaluable data and actionable insights into new and
emerging plays outside the Pre-Salt, allowing our clients to de-risk their
exploration activities in the region for active and future licensing rounds,"
says CEO of TGS, Kristian Johansen.

PGS announce contract awards and MultiClient projects as stock exchange releases
if the contract has a value of $10 million or more, and MultiClient projects
with a duration of 2 months or more.
