PGS Kicks Off Work on Rejuvenation of Cyprus' Offshore Seismic Data

Monday, May 31, 2021

Norwegian seismic data firm PGS has begun the first phase of the Cyprus Vision data rejuvenation project in partnership with the Cypriot Ministry for Energy, Commerce, and Industry.

"This 14 750 sq. km PSDM re-processing endeavor will deliver a single data volume over several highly prospective blocks in the Cypriot EEZ. Enhanced processing flows will add significant value to four input surveys, which were acquired between 2013 and 2017, the majority of them as MultiClient projects. The final re-processed Cyprus Vision volume will be delivered on a common grid." PGS said.

"Cyprus has attracted strong industry interest in its context in the wider Eastern Mediterranean region. Multiple commercial gas discoveries have been made in recent years, most notably Zohr, Calypso, and Glaucus, and there is also the possibility of presalt Miocene sand-hosted reservoirs," says Joshua May, PGS Business Development Manager Africa, Mediterranean and the Middle East.

Final PSDM re-processed deliverables from Cyprus Vision Phase One will be ready in Q2 2022, and this will be immediately followed by the startof the Cyprus Vision Phase Two, PGS said.
