Multi-client Seismic Survey Offshore Mozambique
WesternGeco has begun acquisition of a major multiclient seismic survey offshore Mozambique using the ObliQ sliding-notch broadband acquisition and imaging technique. The technique optimises the recorded bandwidth of the seismic signal enabling more detailed imaging of the subsurface and more reliable extraction of rock properties.
This seismic survey is optimally located to help oil and gas companies evaluate play potential offshore Mozambique, according to Carel Hooykaas, president, WesternGeco.
The survey is being acquired in collaboration with the National Petroleum Institute of Mozambique (INP) and is fully supported by industry prefunding. It consists of more than 31,000 km long-offset 2D data and covers the majority of the offshore territory of Mozambique where future licensing rounds are expected.
