Nigeria

TGS Hotspots

  • West Africa’s most prolific hydrocarbon province, with multiple billion-barrel discoveries and decades of production.
  • Major resource base with approximately 37 billion barrels of oil reserves and over 200 TCF of gas reserves.
  • Recent licensing rounds create near-term exploration opportunities across shallow water, deepwater and onshore blocks.
  • TGS-PetroData data combines seismic, MB&SS, coring and geochemistry for deepwater play derisking.
  • Through the 2025 and 2026 licensing rounds, Nigeria offers opportunities across open shallow-water and deepwater acreage, including the Niger Delta Basin and outer fold-and-thrust belt. Improved PSDM imaging, Awele 3D, MB&SS, and geochemical datasets support the evaluation of untapped deep and ultra-deepwater prospectivity.
  • 3D coverage – 76,000 sq. km Nigeria MegaSurvey 3D; 11,231 sq. km MegaSurveyPlus 3D PSTM; 11,430 sq. km Awele 3D PSDM; 2,099 sq. km Nigeria Vision PSDM.
  • 2D coverage – 16,700 line km Nigeria MegaSurvey 2D; 17,372 line km NGRE19 2D PSDM; 2,048 line km NG02 2D.
  • Additional coverage – 82,000 sq. km MB&SS, 1,222 active hydrocarbon seeps, interpretation products, 268 cores and 17 seabed heat flow measurements.
