| Work Detail |
Norwegian offshore seismic vessel player Shearwater Geoservices has started the second acquisition season for the Pelotas Basin multi-client 3D seismic survey offshore Brazil. This new acquisition, conducted in partnership with Searcher Seismic, will be the sixth multi-client 3D project for the joint venture and will utilise the SW Empress vessel to expand the Pelotas survey area beyond 10,000 sq km. By acquiring detailed 3D seismic data, the project will provide explorers with critical insights into the geological structure of the Pelotas Basin, helping to de-risk exploration activities, enable faster decision-making, and pave the way for successful hydrocarbon discoveries. The survey covers large areas of open acreage expected to be available in the 5th cycle of the Brazilian Open Acreage Release, and acreage awarded in the 4th cycle last year. The survey area holds significant promise due to its geological connection with the Orange Basin in Namibia and South Africa. |
