LYSAKER, Norway – PGS’ vessel Ramform Sovereign has completed a six-month acquisition project offshore Angola using multi-sensor GeoStreamer technology.

The survey covers an area of about 11,556 sq km (4,462 sq mi) in the Namibe basin.

According to PGS, the survey connects the 3D seismic coverage of southern Angola with the company’s seismic data library coverage in Namibia.

Predicted reservoir presence and distribution maps indicate that this area contains a variety of leads and prospects. Full depth-imaging incorporating FWI velocity model building will improve knowledge of the subsurface petroleum system and reduce the risk for frontier exploration, the company said.

The fasttrack data is expected to be available in late 4Q 2020.

The survey was conducted with partner ANPG.
