TGS has significantly expanded its offshore Mauritania data library, adding over 101,500 sq km of 3D data. This addition complements the existing library of more than 19,000 sq km of reprocessed PSDM 3D seismic data and various regional 2D seismic surveys, providing a more comprehensive subsurface picture.

Early analysis reveals evidence of Late Cretaceous channel-fan systems, offering fresh insights into the region’s hydrocarbon potential. Mauritania’s Minister of Energy and Petroleum, Mohamed Ould Khaled, expressed optimism: “With the extension of our offshore data library with new 3D seismic data, Mauritania is opening the door to a new era of energy exploration. Our rich, underexplored basins and stable investment climate make Mauritania one of the most exciting frontiers for oil and gas.”

TGS’ executive vice president of Multi-Client, David Hajovsky, emphasized the value of historical data: “By reevaluating historical exploration results—both successes and failures—exploration teams are better equipped to de-risk future ventures and make informed investment decisions.”
