PGS has completed acquisition of its MC3D Kwanza Shelf survey offshore Angola. Total GeoStreamer coverage in Blocks 6, 7 and 8 and the surrounding areas of the Kwanza Shelf is now 8300 km2.
This MC3D Kwanza Shelf survey complements an earlier PGS acquisition carried out in 2019 and will provide key data for the Angolan 2021 Licensing Round.
The present-day shelf of the Kwanza Basin has been overlooked in previous exploration cycles. The combination of 3D GeoStreamer technology with modern imaging techniques is expected to unlock plays in shallow Kwanza Shelf open blocks, said PGS which has released a fast-track dataset.
Shallow-water environments such as the Kwanza Shelf can present imaging challenges. These are resolved by enhanced processing flows such as FWI and SWIM enabled by high-quality GeoStreamer 3D broadband data, said PGS.
‘This high-quality dataset will allow for lead and prospect generation, attribute analysis and reservoir-scale evaluations,’ said Christine Roche new ventures manager Africa at PGS.
