Searcher Seismic has launched a multi-client 2D and 3D seismic rectification project offshore South Africa, in collaboration with the Petroleum Agency of South Africa.
The seismic data covers the Outeniqua Basin and its sub-basins; the Bredasdorp, Infanta, Pletmos, Gamtoos, Algoa and Southern Outeniqua Basins. Searcher has applied its proprietary post-stack reprocessing method to rectify navigation, metadata, amplitude, phase and time creating a contiguous database that it said can be easily loaded into any interpretation software.
Neil Hodgson, Searcher’s VP GeoScience, said ‘With the success of the Luiperd-1 well proving the spectacular commercial resource potential offshore South Africa, this then is an incredible time to be bringing a ready-to-interpret dataset over the basin to the industry. The Cretaceous source rocks of the Brulpadda-Luiperd trend extend along the margin on the north side of the Agulhas Transform, which provides a depositional onlap for hybrid clastic systems being brought to the basin floor. Brulpadda and Luiperd are just beginning. We can confidently expect a lot more to come in this nascent superbasin.’
