OSLO, Norway — PGS has pre-funding in place to expand acquisition of multiclient 3D seismic over the Sabah platform province offshore Malaysia.
The Ramform Sovereign seismic acquisition vessel should begin acquiring about 3,500 sq km of data in January, with the program due to be completed in March.
This will be the sixth phase of multi-client acquisition in the region since the first phase in 2016, with over 47,000 sq km of 3D data currently compiled.
PGS president and ceo Rune Olav Pedersen said: "The Northwest Sabah basin is a proven petroleum system with producing fields such as Kikeh, Gumusut Kakap and Malikai with enormous potential, yet this is still ranked as one of the least explored basins in the world.
By combining all the phases of the Sabah MultiClient program, we can offer a regional data set that improves understanding of the petroleum systems. In addition, the data sets allow for prospect scale AVO analysis and leads within the entire offshore Sabah basin.”
