This is a gas-prone area. Recent discoveries and increased exploration activity in the form of license rounds, seismic acquisition, and offshore drilling, make the Eastern Mediterranean an exciting region.

Driving Exploration Success in the Eastern Mediterranean

The International Energy Agency predicts that natural gas demand will continue to increase globally towards 2030, complementing renewables as the world transitions towards a more sustainable and cleaner energy mix. Multiple working hydrocarbon systems have been established across both the onshore and offshore areas, with major discoveries now proven in both clastic (e.g., Leviathan) and carbonate (e.g., Zohr) reservoirs in the offshore region.

TGS has a significant regional track record and offers high-quality multi-client 2D and 3D exploration seismic data for Sicily, Greece, Egypt, Cyprus and Lebanon. This vast data library extends over several geological domains. Our multi-client dataset for the Nile Delta covers one of the most mature offshore areas in the region. Other areas are largely frontier in comparison.

Exploration challenges include pre-salt imaging and the underlying carbonate and clastic reservoir resolution. These challenges are addressed with high-density GeoStreamer data and modern depth imaging workflows.

Licensing round activity in the region and drilling campaigns that will test pre-salt reservoirs offshore Cyprus and Lebanon have generated excitement from E&P companies looking for frontier acreage in the early stages of play development.

Geology

TGS seismic data from the East Mediterranean supports new exploration activities offshore Greece, Cyprus, Egypt and in the Levant Basin.

Imaging

A targeted processing sequence has been applied to a number of extensive 3D GeoStreamer surveys in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
