Oslo-listed seismic company TGS-Nopec has announced another project in a “rapidly emerging basin” off West Africa, after launching a survey in the same area last week.

West Africa, along with Brazil, is one of two areas identified by Pareto Securities as especially promising for offshore support vessels in 2019.

This week, TGS revealed its first regional data-gathering effort over 113,500 square kilometres (43,822 square miles) of the MSGBC Basin — which refers to Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea Bissau and Guinea Conakry.
