Gabon Survey Ready for Licensing

Wednesday, December 7, 2016

The final processed depth volumes, the Kirchhoff and RTM PreSDM, from CGG’s recent 3D BroadSeis™ multi-client survey in the highly prospective Gabon South Basin are now available for license.

The company, as technical consultant to Gabon’s Ministry of Petroleum and Hydrocarbons, acquired the broadband seismic survey of over 25,000 sq km to support Gabon’s latest licensing round. The seismic survey is part of an integrated geoscience program that will also include reviewed, resolved and interpreted well and geological data, in order to provide a petroleum systems evaluation supported by regional interpretations and reports.

Jean-Georges Malcor, CEO, CGG, said: “The Gabon deep offshore is one of the last underexplored areas of the West Africa Atlantic Margin. The final data sets we have just delivered from our survey show a spectacular uplift in subsalt imaging. We believe these images will revolutionize the industry’s understanding of deepwater Gabon and be a valuable resource for clients to de-risk and unlock the potential of this promising exploration arena.”
