The Comisión Nacional de Hidrocarburos (CNH) recently granted TGS the authorization to carry out a regional multi-client seismic data reprocessing and interpretation in the Veracruz-Sureste Basins Mexico.

Over 40000 km of 2D seismic data within the area above highlighted in red was selected and is being reprocessed and interpreted entirely within TGS. The data selection for this package is designed to provide a regional subsurface framework from the Sierra Madre foothills through the marine transition zone in this prolific Mexican oil and gas production region. The objective of this project is to provide the industry with data to evaluate lease rounds in the CNIH 5 year plan, and in particular rounds 2.3 and 2.4.

SuresteThe Sureste region is currently Mexico’s most productive petroleum province , and it holds vast untested and undeveloped opportunity. Multiple tectonic episodes have resulted in complex overlapping structural styles and a wide range of proven and potential plays. Massive structures along the leading edge of the Sierra Madre and Chiappas thrust belts produce oil from Upper Cretaceous carbonates and Jurassic oolites. Eocene carbonate breccias derived from Mezosoic thrust sheets produce in several fields. Linked extensional and compressional tectonics and salt mobilization in the Miocene formed massive traps including the 37 billion barrel Cantarell complex in the Bay of Campeche. Salt tectonics offshore and onshore also formed abundant traps in the Mesozoic and Tertiary section. Plio-Pleistocene extension in the near-shore salt province formed multiple deep mini-basins which hold significant potential.

VeracruzThe Veracruz region features plays along the Cretaceous-Eocene Sierra Madre thrust belt and its Tertiary foreland basin to the east. Stacked thrust sheets of Cretaceous carbonates form multiple traps with numerous proven fields and prospective oil plays. The foreland basin is a significant gas province where structural inversion occurred in the mid to Late Miocene, with Miocene debris fans and turbidite sands producing from massive pop up structures. The deeper strata remain largely unexplored.

The map above shows the general coverage of the 2D selected for reprocessing in the Sureste-Veracruz basins, red outline. TGS has a similar project in progress, blue outline, in the Tampico-Misantla Basin.
