The largest project of its kind in the region for client the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) will give explorers and investors a clearer understanding of the region’s complex subsurface and help them to identify opportunities for exploration and enhanced production.
Data acquisition is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2026.
Mahmoud Abdel Hamid, chairman of EGAS, said: ‘The Egyptian Eastern Mediterranean has great potential for development but features some of the most challenging environments for seismic imaging owing to the complex faulting and the Messinian evaporite layer that masks deep reservoirs formed from complex channel sand bodies. Our partners Viridien and SLB have decades of specialised imaging expertise in the region and will apply their cutting-edge technologies to deliver the clearest insight into the subsurface to help operators better evaluate and prioritise opportunities.’
