CGG announced that the Fast TraxTM TTI RTM (tilted transverse isotropy reverse time migration) processed data from its IBALT broadband, full-azimuth survey covering over 5,000sq km (221 blocks) in the Keathley Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) has been delivered on schedule.
These data are the first deliverable in a multi-year, multi-client program that CGG is acquiring in the GOM using StagSeisTM, its next-generation subsalt imaging solution. StagSeis combines all the recent advances in marine acquisition to acquire full-azimuth, ultra-long-offset, and broad bandwidth data to achieve illumination in the most challenging areas, where conventional wide-azimuth acquisition fails to image targets below complex overburdens.
Final fully processed products will be available in August 2014.
CGG is currently acquiring its second StagSeis survey, “Deux,” which covers 357 blocks adjacent to IBALT. Acquisition of Deux is scheduled for completion in November 2013, with Fast Trax data being available in May 2014, and final data in May 2015.
