TGS announces that it will conduct extensive reprocessing of over 13,550 km of 2D multi-client seismic data located in waters off the Faroe Islands. This project, designated Offshore Faroe Reprocessing 2011, will extend to the UK/Faroe border.

The data for the reprocessing has been made available by Faroese Earth and Energy Directorate (Jardfeingi). TGS will apply advanced processing techniques proven to have been successful in illuminating sub-basalt plays in the West of Shetland region over the last two years.

Data from the project will be available for clients in Q3 2011. This project is supported by industry funding.
