Emperor upbeat on Seismic results for Judith Gas Field
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.
PGS ASA deploys two vessels to expand coverage offshore Canada
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.
