3D Seismic in for Seychelles’ Junon

Monday, October 20, 2014

Australian firm WHL Energy received “encouraging” results from the initial ‘fast-track’ data volume from the Junon 3D seismic survey acquired offshore the Seychelles by the Ophir Energy/WHL Energy JV in July.

The Junon 3D seismic survey is designed to mature a number of prospects for drilling on the Junon trend in the east of the Ophir Energy/ WHL Energy Seychelles acreage (Junon South, Junon East and Junon Central), an area high graded by WHL Energy’s geological studies.

The initial review showed that key prospects identified in the 2D seismic data can be interpreted on the fast track volume, and it is expected that the fully processed 3D seismic volume will provide detailed definition of the Junon area features. The firm is “pleased that the fast track post-stack migration data generally shows encouraging seismic data quality although, as expected, the quality remains challenging in some areas due to the presence of shallow carbonate reefs.”
