A 3D seismic survey is gearing up to deliver new insights into the TTUD 1 Block, operated by ExxonMobil Trinidad and Tobago Deepwater Limited. The survey is designed to safely acquire subsurface data to rapidly assess the block’s hydrocarbon potential and guide future exploration decisions. This effort has been strengthened by close collaboration among Trinidad and Tobago’s government agencies, industry partners, and technical teams.
Seismic operations are expected to begin within six months of PSC signing. The programme includes acquisition of approximately 6,100 km2 of 3D seismic coverage in water depths ranging from 1,800 to 4,000 meters. The Amazon Warrior, operated by Shearwater GeoServices, will deploy twelve 10,000‑meter multicomponent streamers to collect data over a 4–5 month campaign.
The accelerated and safe pace and progress of this effort reflects alignment between ExxonMobil Trinidad and Tobago Deepwater Limited, the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the Honourable Minister of Energy and Energy Industries, the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries, the Environmental Management Authority, and ExxonMobil’s permitting partner Continental Shelf Associates and seismic acquisition partner Shearwater GeoServices.
