TGS wraps up Somaliland shoot



By Upstream staff 

Norwegian survey contractor TGS-Nopec has completed two new multi-client programmes in Somaliland prior to the country’s open bid round later this year.

Offshore, TGS has shot 5100 kilometres of seismic, gravity, and magnetic data covering both shallow and deep water areas, with the data becoming available to clients in the third quarter.

Onshore, TGS shot about 34,000 kilometres of high resolution aeromagnetic data covering all known Somaliland petroleum basins and the data should be available by mid-year.

Somaliland is geologically analogous to Yemen where several oilfields have been discovered to date, said TGS in a statement today.

Somaliland is bordered by Ethiopia in the south and west, Djibouti in the northwest, the Gulf of Aden in the north, and Somalia in the southeast.
