Phase 1 of the 11,000km Rocket 2D seismic survey, located in South Carnarvon, and North Perth basins off Western Australia, has commenced.
The multi-client project will be conducted in two phases between now and June. M/V Duke will complete the 4200km of Phase 1 within the next six weeks.
According to Spectrum, the new acquisition program has been designed to complement the newly acquired Geoscience Australia research survey in the Houtman basin. Additionally, Phase 1 of the Spectrum survey ties with wells DSDP 0263, Herdsman 1, and Pendock 1.
Spectrum intends to use this seismic program to unlock the potential of the underexplored region, including several major source rocks throughout both basins in Mesozoic and Palaeozoic units. The company says that several potential reservoir units are present throughout the basins and ample potential trapping structures exist due to the large scale faulting and folding from continental break-up.
M/V Duke started acquisition on 23 January directly following completion of the Houtman project.
Rocket is Spectrum’s first acquisition project in Australia.
