Spectrum, in cooperation with Gabon’s Direction Generale des Hydrocarbures (DGH), launched its next phase of multi-client seismic acquisition. The company is acquiring a shallow water 3D campaign offshore northern Gabon.
The campaign is focused on acquiring seismic programs in under-explored shallow water open blocks with the objective of offering the most up-to-date 3D imaging of the area. The DGH intends to make these blocks available through future shallow water license rounds so as to accelerate exploration. This data will facilitate immediate activity when the blocks are awarded.
Up to 5,500 sq km of long offset broadband seismic data will be acquired alongside gravity and magnetic recordings. This follows the 11,400 sq km Gabon South 3D survey completed earlier this year and complements over 20,000 km of 2D multi-client seismic data offshore Gabon also held by Spectrum on behalf of the DGH, which gives a regional overview and highlights key areas of exploration.
The new 3D data will be processed with PSTM, PSDM and Broadband products with first deliveries in early Q3 2018 ahead of anticipated licensing rounds. The survey is carried out in partnership with China Oilfield Services (COSL).
