In collaboration with Petroguin E.P., Polarcus secured additional industry prefunding to acquire a new 3D multi-client survey offshore Guinea-Bissau, expanding theits 3D multi-client data library across the Mauritania-Senegal-Guinea-Bissau basin in the AGC and Guinea-Bissau to over 8300sq km.
The new high density RightBAND 3D survey of approximately 2300sq km will begin in 4Q 2014 using a Polarcus A-Class seismic vessel and is expected to run for approximately 75 days. Final data products will be available mid-2015.
The recently announced dual well successes on trend to the north, offshore Senegal, have resulted in renewed industry interest in the Cretaceous slope fan and shelf-edge reef plays along the basin margin. Similar plays to the south in both the AGC & Guinea-Bissau have now been significantly de-risked for oil source but will still require the greater resolution inherent in 3D broadband seismic to fully understand the complex trapping and migration route configurations required for further drilling success.
