WEST PERTH, Australia – Carnarvon Petroleum has issued an update on analysis of a seismic survey over two fields in the frontier Bedout basin offshore Western Australia.
The Keraudren 3D seismic program, acquired last year, used “source over streamer” technology to improve the visibility of key geological intervals associated within the hydrocarbon zones of the Dorado and Roc fields, and within intervals in the surrounding area.
Seismic mapping confirmed the structural integrity of the Apus prospect (previously mapped on the Bilby 2D data) and the Pavo prospect.
Carnarvon recently applied semi-automated seismic interpretation software to the new data, and this has provided a clearer view of Dorado, surrounding prospects and the basinal architecture.
Managing director and CEO Adrian Cook said: “We clearly know that we are working in a prolific new hydrocarbon basin on the North West Shelf, most particularly following the successful Dorado and Roc discoveries and appraisal results.
“We are currently working with the new Keraudren 3D seismic data to determine follow up exploration potential in the area and to support the Dorado field development work.”
