Spectrum has completed of the 17,700 km2 Santos Campos Ph.2 2D seismic survey offshore Brazil.
Spectrum said the new acquisition program was an outboard extension of Spectrum’s 2012 Santos Campos Phase 1 survey, and ties other programs in the Santos, Campos and Espirito Santo Basins producing a continuous dataset covering the prolific pre-salt oil fields in these basins.
The survey has been acquired with a 12,000m cable to record data necessary to understand basin architecture as well as to image prospective zones in the pre-salt section. The data is at present being processed in Spectrum’s Houston processing center with PSTM, PSDM (Kirchhoff and RTM) and Broadband products expected to be available in Q2 2017.
The company said the completion of this new campaign offshore Brazil provides new long-offset data over prospective pre-salt basins in time for an anticipated round in 2017.
“The Brazilian government has suggested that the round will include blocks outside the pre-salt area in the Santos and Campos Basins, this play continues to provide excitement and opportunities for exploration. The new data extends coverage over a under-explored area of the pre-salt exploration province,” Spectrum said.
