Global Petroleum has contracted Seabird Exploration to acquire 834km of full fold 2D seismic data covering block (PEL 0029) offshore Namibia.
The survey has been designed as an infill program with the aim of providing better delineation of an extremely large, multi-level, dip closed prospect - Gemsbok - which has been mapped in the south eastern portion of Global's acreage.
In addition, the survey has been specifically designed to improve resolution of the deeper syn-rift section adjacent to the Gemsbok structure, as well as to provide a more accurate understanding of the deeper sedimentary sequence where it is believed potential source rocks are likely to be present.
It is expected that the survey will start towards the end of June/early July and take about two weeks to complete.
Global Petroleum's technical team is both intrigued and highly encouraged by its recent work which has confirmed the Gemsbok prospect, a structural closure extending over 200sq km.
It is unusual to identify such a large, robust structure at prospective depths, which does not rely on stratigraphic trapping.
