Tanzania’s Petroleum Upstream Regulatory Authority has selected energy data and intelligence firm TGS to manage and license the country’s offshore subsurface data.
The data encompasses 2D and 3D regional seismic and well data over an area of 132,000 km², essential for understanding Tanzania’s geology and hydrocarbon potential.
TGS will also undertake future acquisition of new seismic data, reprocess existing data and support Tanzania’s upcoming licensing rounds set to launch in 2025.
“Tanzania remains an attractive exploration target with its world-class gas fields and excellent sands proven across multiple source intervals,” stated David Hajovsky, EVP of Multi-Client at TGS, adding “… TGS will empower exploration and production companies to evaluate opportunities in this under-explored but highly promising region of East Africa.”
