CGG has been present in Brazil for over 55 years, since the company began working with Petrobras in 1961. Its long-established Rio de Janeiro Subsurface Imaging Center, with its strong reservoir characterisation group, has the largest computer capacity and greatest expertise in the region.
CGG has announced the start of acquisition of its first complementary wide-azimuth (CWAz) survey, known as AC CWAz, a BroadSeis™ 3D multi-client programme in southern Alaminos Canyon, Gulf of Mexico.
The associated prospects are located in two promising plays and areas of the GoM: Wilcox in Central GoM next to the Anchor discovery, and Norphlet in Eastern GoM nearby to the Appomattox discovery.
As a result of this agreement, CGG will shortly commence acquisition of a new multi-client survey of up to 40 000 km2 of 3D data over the Beira High in the Zambezi Delta.
CGG has announced the start of work on Espirito Santo IV, a large BroadSeis™ 3D multi-client survey in the deep and ultra-deep waters of the Espirito Santo Basin offshore Brazil.
The 340 km2 3D seismic survey was acquired offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, for Roc Oil using a triple source array with simultaneous recording by ocean-bottom nodes and a towed-streamer spread, all from a single seismic vessel.
FairfieldNodal announces it is in advanced discussions with Thalassa Holdings to acquire WGP Group Ltd., a premier provider of marine geophysical services headquartered in the U.K.
The FairfieldNodal and Schlumberger WesternGeco multiclient joint venture project in the southern Delaware Basin of West Texas, known as Coyanosa Phase I, is scheduled to begin shooting late-August.
This is the first seismic survey acquired there in approximately 30 years. PanamaSPAN™ is designed to provide the framework to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of this unexplored area ahead of the anticipated inaugural license round.
The project will offer the industry the highest-resolution 3D seismic data available in this extremely prospective area.
The survey is being conducted by Schlumberger Guyana Inc. using R/V GECO Eagle and two supporting vessels, and is expected to be completed within 50 days following which the results will be interpreted before an announcement is published.
ION Geophysical Corporation has announced that its imaging services supported the historic Zama-1 discovery offshore Mexico made by Talos Energy, LLC (Talos) and their partners.
