KrisEnergy has commenced the start of a 1,200sq2 3D seismic survey in the offshore Cambodia Block A concession, where the Company is developing the Apsara oil field.
Shearwater Geoservices was awarded the turnkey broadband seismic contract through the wholly-owned subsidiary, KrisEnergy (Apsara) Company Limited, and has deployed the vessel SW Vespucci.
KrisEnergy said that around 200km2 of the 3D program will be acquired over the Apsara development area to improve imaging of geological faults and sand bodies to aid in the finalisation of the design of well trajectories — ahead of development drilling for first oil.
Approximately 1,000km2 will be acquired over a large prospective area in the southwest portion of the concession area, which has been sparsely explored by old 2D seismic lines, to improve data quality over the prospective trend in the western section of Cambodia Block A.
