Abstract:
Recent seismic and airborne gravity and magnetic data have been acquired by InterOil in its licences PPL237 and PPL238 over an extensive onshore area in the Eastern Papuan Basin in Papua New Guinea. The Elk Prospect was initially identified on the basis of surface geology. A 2D seismic line was acquired in 2004 which proved the presence of an independent thrust anticline. However, projecting the structure along strike proved difficult and was complicated by extremely ductile deformation in the outcropping Orubadi Formation.
