Access to new acreage, transparent fiscal terms, and a predictable land-sale policy make Uruguay an attractive region for oil and gas exploration.

The under-explored Punta del Este and Pelotas basins in Uruguay exhibit many of the same petroleum system features as the discoveries in Namibia. 

PGS' first 3D GeoStreamer acquisition, in 2012, provided a unique understanding of the prospectivity across the basins. More recently, we completed a large reprocessing project of data from the Pelotas to the Punta del Este basin. Our data library in Uruguay currently comprises over 15 600 sq. km of 3D data and 11 500 km of 2D data, and further expansion is in the pipeline.

PGS seismic data has been used to generate quantitative interpretation products that further identify and derisk exploration targets. These QI products are available with our MultiClient data bundle.
