OSLO, Norway – PGS, TGS, and WesternGeco have jointly secured pre-funding for a 6,400-sq km (2,471-sq mi) multi-client 3D survey in the Sarawak basin, offshore Malaysia.
The survey, due to start in October, is the first phase of a multi-year contract awarded by Petronas in 2020, and involves acquiring and processing up to 105,000 sq km (40,541 sq mi) of 3D seismic across the basin over a five-year period in the basin.
PGS’ Ramform Sovereign will acquire the first-phase data using multi-sensor GeoStreamer technology, with work expected to take around four months to complete.
The surveyed area covers acreage included in the Malaysia Bid Round 2021: fast-track results will be delivered in time for block evaluation.
PGS also announced that it has delivered what it claims are the first 3D seismic products over the emerging plays of the outboard Campos basin offshore Brazil.
The data will be offered to bidders for Brazil’s 17th Bid Round, scheduled for October.
Fast-track anisotropic (TTI) PSDM products include Kirchhoff and RTM stacks and gathers. In addition, final processed gravity and magnetic products are available over the larger Campos Deepwater GSX program.
PGS acquired the Campos Deepwater GeoStreamer MC3D project in 2020 and 2021 with 10-km (6.2-mi) long offsets to improve depth velocity modeling accuracy of the post-salt, salt, and presalt sections.
