CGG Awarded Multi-client Projects offshore Mozambique
CGG has been awarded a multi-client programme by the Instituto Nacional de Petroleo (INP) to acquire seismic data offshore Mozambique. The programme includes a 2D survey of over 6,550km in the offshore Rovuma basin, including blocks R5-A, R5-B and R5-C, and a large 3D survey over the Beira High in the Zambezi Delta. The 3D survey is expected to be up to 40,000km², subject to pre-commitment. It will cover blocks Z5-C and Z5-D and surrounding open acreage in this deltaic area which is believed to be prospective.
CGG has also been awarded an onshore airborne gravity and magnetic survey in the Southern Mozambique Basin.
The multi-survey programme is designed to improve industry insight into the region’s geology and provide oil and gas companies with a greater level of understanding of the country’s prospectivity.
The proposed multi-client seismic programme in the Mozambique Zambezi region will form part of a comprehensive, fully integrated geoscience package that will give participating companies a better overall understanding of the region. Marine gravity and magnetic data will be acquired simultaneously with the seismic to aid regional interpretation. The interpretive phase of the program will benefit from the full range of geoscience expertise from CGG’s Geology, Geophysics & Reservoir businesses. This will include geological and remote sensing expertise from Robertson and NPA Satellite Mapping.
