TGS-Nopec Libya survey takes off



By Upstream staff 

Norwegian seismic player TGS-Nopec said it had kicked off a large-scale multi-client aeromagnetic survey in Libya.

TGS-Nopec said the survey was being conducted with Libyan partners Agesco and Nageco under a deal with the National Oil Corporation of Libya

It said the survey would be carried out in several stages, eventually covering all Libya’s known hydrocarbons basins.

The first stage of the survey will cover 250,000 kilometres of data, to be shot in a regional grid. The survey will cover all Libya’s offshore areas as well as several onshore basins it said.

The company said it would use several aircraft simultaneously to speed up the survey, which is expected to take six months to complete.
