Over the past 18 months, TGS has acquired over 17,000 km2 of 3D seismic data over the deep water Exmouth Plateau offshore Western Australia, including surveys such as the 8,839 km2 Mary Rose MC3D and 2,588 km2 Honeycombs MC3D. The Exmouth Plateau is located in the gas-rich Carnarvon Basin near major fields like Scarborough and Io-Jansz. TGS' seismic data covers blocks that will be awarded soon as well as proposed blocks that are prospective for further gas discoveries.
