Revealing a promising new play concept in the Salar Basin, offshore Canada

PGS, in partnership with TGS, has been acquiring modern 3D GeoStreamer data offshore Canada since 2015. The South Bank 3D survey was acquired in 2020 over an area of 2 635 sq. km using multi-sensor towed streamer technology with 16 streamers (8 km in length) in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The survey is located across the eastern slope of Grand Banks in the Salar Basin and enables further investigation of the petroleum system elements which legacy 2D data had already indicated were present and suggested there is a significant exploration potential in the area. A promising new play concept was identified in the Upper Cretaceous to Paleogene slope settings.
