EGS (Asia) Ltd. has been awarded a contract by Toke Oil&Gas SA in partnership with the State Secretariat for Natural Resources of the Government of Timor-Leste to carry out a bathymetric survey covering the entire East Timorese southern offshore area. The total survey area covers 43,000sqkm, of which 50% are in water depths deeper than 1500m (maximum water depths: 3,500m). The deep water survey (water depths deeper than 1500m) was carried out by the RV Ridley Thomas using her Simrad EM12 full ocean depth swathe bathymetry system in June/July 2008, acquiring in excess of 5,500 line km of swathe bathymetry data within a period of 23 days. The shallow water survey is currently ongoing and is carried out by the MV Northern Light using a 50kHz Elac MkII swathe bathymetry system
