PGS has reprocessed 3D data over the Bauna field in southwest Santos Basin and its surrounding area ahead of Brazil’s upcoming permanent offer round.
PGS has reprocessed 3D data over the Bauna field in southwest Santos Basin and its surrounding area ahead of Brazil’s upcoming permanent offer round.
The reprocessing of survey BM-S-40 started from field tapes and applied the latest workflow for data conditioning, noise, and multiple suppression to create a 2500 km2 dataset.
‘The results can be inputted into model building and imaging workflows, allowing a quicker evaluation of opportunities in the area. This is good news for companies that would like to nominate blocks in an area that is part of Brazil’s Permanent Offer Bid Round,’ said PGS
Using a subset of the data, PGS has also produced a high-resolution PSTM over the Bauna field.
PGS is also screening datasets to allow the evaluation of all 35 open blocks in the Gabon shallow and deepwater licensing round. Packages covering north and south areas include 2D and 3D seismic data.
The West African country extended the closing date for submission of tenders to the Gabon 12th Shallow and Deepwater Licensing Round to 30 June 2021. Acreage on offer includes 12 shallow water and 23 deepwater blocks.
PGS has won a 4D acquisition contract from ExxonMobil for work offshore Guyana. A Titan class vessel is scheduled to mobilize for the project in Q4 2021 and acquisition is planned to be completed in Q1 2022. ‘We acquired the 4D baseline of this area and consider it strategically important for us to be awarded a repeat survey for parts of the initial programme,’ said president and CEO of PGS, Rune Olav Pedersen.
