TGS Announces Dawson III 3D Seismic Survey in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin
(6 January 2025) – TGS, a global provider of energy data and intelligence announced today the launch of the Dawson Phase III 3D multi-client seismic survey in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Spanning 141 square kilometers, this new survey will be merged with 121 square kilometers from the existing .
Field recording has just completed, with Fast Track data expected in the first quarter of 2025 and final delivery in the second quarter of 2025. The project utilizes advanced imaging technologies, including multi-survey merging, harmonic noise reduction for slip sweep acquisition and OVT 5D interpretation, which enables precise subsurface imaging and valuable insights for operators developing Montney resources.
“The Dawson Phase III 3D survey marks an important step as our first new multi-client seismic project in British Columbia since 2019,” said Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS. “Through the application of modern seismic imaging techniques and close collaboration with First Nations to minimize environmental impact, we continue our commitment in delivering high-quality, industry-leading data that supports informed decision-making in one of Canada’s most active formations.”
The Dawson Phase III 3D seismic survey, supported by industry funding, will be integrated with existing TGS’ data to offer an expanded dataset for enhanced subsurface understanding in the region. The project incorporates 291 wells and 191 LAS logs, further refining the dataset and offering valuable insights for operators in Montney Formation.
