The MMS first selected TGS-NOPEC Geophysical as their service provider for new-drill data management services in 2004. In this role, TGS-NOPEC Geophysical acts as the collection point for all operator acquired well log data in the OCS regions. After receiving the data, TGS-NOPEC Geophysical processes it to the MMS’ standard and then serves as the official release agent to the public once the Operator’s proprietary period has elapsed.

“We are honored that MMS has chosen TGS again for this contract,” noted John Adamick, senior vice president Geological Products. ”We look forward to serving MMS’ well log data management needs over the next five years.”
