Gulf of America

TGS Hotspots

  • The BBG3 lease sale is set for Aug. 12, 2026, offering approximately 15,066 unleasedblocks across 80.4 million acres, with TGS modern seismic supporting every key blockon offer.​
  • The One Big Beautiful Bill Act mandates 30 Gulf lease sales through 2040, givingoperators a predictable, long-term path to acreage access.​
  • Recent deepwater discoveries continue to confirm the basin’s potential, includingBandit (April 2026) in Green Canyon and Nashville (January 2026) in the Norphlet play.​
  • Long-offset OBN and elastic FWI are opening up subsalt plays that older streamer datacouldn’t image clearly, with decades of production still delivering upside as imagingtechnology advances.

The Gulf remains one of the world’s most active super basins, and TGS holds theseismic foundation to match. Coverage spans regional 2D, narrow and wide azimuthstreamer, and modern OBN 3D datasets including Amendment, Amendment West andAPEX 1. Long-offset acquisition with enhanced frequency sources (EFS) like TGS’Gemini, paired with E-DMFWI imaging, sharpens subsalt targets that older streamerdata couldn’t resolve. This translates to better prospect decisions and reduced riskahead of the August 12 sale.​

  • 3D coverage: Modern 3D OBN seismic in key subsalt areas plus narrow and wideazimuth streamer.​
  • 2D coverage: Regional 2D across the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf.​
  • Additional coverage: 23,000+ well logs, production and forecasting data, multibeambathymetry, geochemical core analysis, post-well interpretation, CCS saline aquiferdata.​
