Emperor Energy has announced positive initial 3D Seismic Data results from its 100% owned Judith Gas Field in the offshore Gippsland Basin.
The Sydney-based explorer said its team of consulting geologists and geophysicists were currently doing analysis of the multi-client 3D seismic data acquired in the VIC/P47 Permit in mid-2020 by CGG. This follows an independent resource statement completed on 11 July 2019.
Shearwater GeoServices has completed the sale of the seismic vessel Western Trident for recycling as part of the company’s fleet renewal strategy.
The vessel has been delivered in Turkey for recycling in accordance with EU regulations and the 2009 Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships. In late 2020, Shearwater also sold the CGG Alize to be repurposed outside of the seismic industry.
These sales together with Shearwater’s...
PGS seismic vessel Ramform Titan has begun acquisition of the Cape Anguille program, in partnership with TGS. This program expands the PGS-TGS joint venture with another 10 000km² of GeoStreamer 3D coverage in Newfoundland’s prospective Orphan Basin.
The survey covers existing lease blocks and open acreage. Acquisition is expected to complete mid-September 2021. PGS will deliver fast-track results in November 2021, and final imaging and interpretation products in Q1 2022.
In...
Shearwater GeoServices has commenced the second and significantly larger phase of ION Geophysical’s 11,000km² UK Mid North Sea High 3D seismic survey program using the Oceanic Vega.
Shearwater said the Mid North Sea High’s proximity to shore and existing energy infrastructure supports lower development costs, making it an attractive development region for companies both within the oil and gas and the low carbon energy sectors.
The acquisition of this large data set, prioritizing...
Sercel has announced the launch of GPR300, a new nodal seismic acquisition solution specially designed for deployment in shallow waters down to depths of 300 meters.
Developed in partnership with BGP, the new solution expands Sercel’s existing GPRNT range which includes GPR1500 for high-end deepwater subsurface imaging.
Compact and lightweight, GPR300 features Sercel’s unique QuietSeis® broadband digital sensor technology for ultra-quiet performance and unmatched digital...
Additional full integrity products have been released from the PGS Flex Vision data rejuvenation program in the Gulf of Mexico.
PGS said that the application of new imaging technology to the Flex Trend had revealed nearfield opportunities that boost potential far beyond original estimates.
“New data unlocks opportunities adjacent to existing discoveries, to enable infrastructure-led exploration in an area of the Gulf of Mexico that has been producing oil and gas for over two...
CGG has signed an R&D collaboration agreement with Geoptic to jointly research and assess a novel borehole solution for monitoring the spread of CO2 in subsurface storage sites for Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS).
The agreement focuses on developing a new version of Geoptic’s DIABLO muon tracking tool specifically for CCS applications. Geoptic deploys DIABLO as part of its pioneering use of cosmic ray muons to passively and non-intrusively image the internal structure of objects.
It...
PGS and Joseph Exploration (JEX) have announced a technical collaboration in the West Cameron protraction area, Gulf of Mexico, USA.
Under the agreement, PGS will provide seismic data from the MultiClient 3D Flex Trend dataset for prospect development work to be undertaken by JEX. The prospect development work will benefit from collaboration between PGS processing and imaging experts and the JEX technical team.
The study area in West Cameron is a subset of the PGS Flex Trend dataset...
Shearwater GeoServices has been awarded a 4D monitoring contract for towed streamer seismic acquisition in the Campos Basin offshore Brazil.
The 3D and 4D programs will be conducted over 9-months by the SW Empress, over the Marlim, Albacora, and Voador fields, starting late in the second quarter of 2021, Shearwater said.
4D time-lapse seismic monitoring is a key reservoir management tool and Shearwater described itself as a “technology and market leader in 4D towed streamer...
High-performance computing technology company DUG Technology has signed an agreement with CSIRO Information Management and Technology to provide high-performance computing and storage using DUG McCloud.
In addition, under a separate agreement, DUG will also provide CSIRO with support, training and enablement utilising DUG’s team of HPC specialists, assisting CSIRO to maximise success on DUG McCloud.
The HPC and storage agreement is for a term of 24 months with an anticipated revenue...
