Trident Energy has started a 4D seismic survey over its Block G assets, which contain the Ceiba and Okume fields, offshore Equatorial Guinea.
The data is being shot by the vessel Polarcus Naila and the survey is expected to last 45 days in total, covering an area of 340 km2.
This will be the third 4D seismic monitor survey over the Block G fields and the first commissioned by Trident Energy, which has been operating the assets in partnership with Kosmos Energy, Tullow Oil and GEPetrel since acquiring them in 2017.
Since the last monitor survey in 2014 there has been continued production, the addition of new producer wells and improvements to the water injection pattern, all of which have altered the fluid flow patterns within the reservoir.
The results of the new 4D seismic survey, expected in 4Q 2020, will be used by Trident and its partners to quantify these changes in the Equatorial Guinea reservoir to create new development opportunities in 2021 and beyond.
