By james art OSLO, Norway (October 23, 2024) – TGS, a global leader in energy data and intelligence, today announced an expansion of its 3D seismic survey in Birmingham to cover 276 square miles. The study is strategically located on the western slope of the Appalachian Basin, conforming to the most promising trend of the Utica-Point Pleasant Formation and Clinton Sands.
Christian Johansen, CEO of TGS, commented: “The Birmingham-Gemini 3D survey reflects TGS’s commitment to unlocking the potential of the Appalachian Basin. Combined with our well-established database and analytics products, it provides clients with critical information to drive success in exploration and production, underscoring our commitment to providing superior geoscience data for informed decision-making.”
The Birmingham-Gemini 3D seismic survey will target key formations in the Appalachian Basin, including the Ordovician Trenton, Black River, Utica/Point Pleasant, Cambrian reservoirs and Silurian Clinton sands. Positioned upstream of the Utica condensate and gas trend, the exploration aims to explore the underexplored Point Pleasant oil window.
Using advanced seismic imaging, the project will map deep structures to identify hydrocarbon traps, analyze facies changes and optimize well placement. These insights will assist operators in refining exploration and production strategies.
TGS will enhance the seismic data by integrating it with its extensive Appalachian geological and borehole database, including over 480,000 log data. Proprietary formation tops and well performance indicators available through TGS Well Data Analytics Platformprovide clients with a comprehensive analysis for deeper insight into the region’s potential.
Enrollment for the Birmingham-Gemini 3D survey will begin in early 2025, with the fully processed data set available to customers by the end of the year.
This project is supported by industry funding.
