Searcher Seismic has launched the Nanamarope 3D multi-client seismic survey over multiple permits offshore the Gulf of Papua.
Searcher Seismic has launched the Nanamarope 3D multi-client seismic survey over multiple permits offshore the Gulf of Papua.
The 1919 km2 Nanamarope MC3D, in co-operation wiit Larus Energy, is designed to evaluate and derisk several prospective plays identified within the Mesozoic and Tertiary intervals, improve imaging of secondary play types as well as resolve the velocity contrasts in the subsurface. ‘The 3D data is crucial to enhancing the geological understanding of the sparsely explored offshore Gulf of Papua and developing drill-ready prospects like those recently identified by a supermajor in the permit immediately adjacent to the Nanamarope 3D,’ said Searcher.
Searcher said it has built up a big library of regional seismic, geochemical, and airborne data across the Gulf of Papua, a region which has attracted substantial interest from international exploration companies.
‘Searcher’s comprehensive data library has revolutionised the understanding of the tectonostratigraphic evolution of the region, unveiling numerous play types with vast untapped hydrocarbon potential including a new Mid-Miocene turbidite play,’ the company added.
Fast-track data will be available by late Q3 2023.
