Namibia's Discoveries

In February 2022, the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR) and its exploration partners announced two exciting discoveries within the Orange basin, proving a working petroleum system for light oil offshore Namibia. Since then, the area has seen additional positive exploration results. Many of these results can be viewed on TGS seismic data along with numerous analogues.

Northwest Africa

Northwest Africa

Northwest Africa has been the shining light of African exploration. That light was cast upon the region through world-class discoveries in Senegal and Mauritania.

TGS offers 2D and 3D seismic in continuous coverage from MSGBC to Liberia, with supporting MBSS geochemistry, and continues to prove a working hydrocarbon system here.
