PGS said the original study, based on 3D seismic data, provided insights into the prospectivity of the area, identifying promising stratigraphic traps in both the Syn-rift and Post-rift sequences. The turbidite channel example above is one of many such features.

OSLO, Norway — PGS has received approval from regulatory authority ANCAP to reprocess and rejuvenate its Uruguay MC3D GeoStreamer dataset.

The survey 3DUR12, acquired in 2012, covered 15,600 sq km across the prospective offshore Pelotas Basin. It identified potential stratigraphic traps in the Syn-rift and Post-rift sequences.

Reprocessing should help redefine exploration frontiers in this region, PGS said.

The company’s imaging center in Houston will manage the program, applying technologies such as imaging with multiples (SWIM), full waveform inversion (FWI) and least squares imaging to improve resolution.
