CGG has signed an exclusive multiclient data agreement with the the Ministère du Pétrole et des Hydrocarbures of the Republic of Gabon.
As a result of this agreement, CGG is launching a new multiclient survey program to acquire 35,000 sq km (13,514 sq miles) BroadSeis 3-D data over the latest available and awarded deepwater blocks offshore Gabon and 9,900 km (6,152 miles) of 2-D data over the country’s ultradeepwater offshore area. The program, which has already received support from the industry, will be implemented in association with the Direction Générale des Hydrocarbures.
This first phase of the program, which will cover almost 24,000 sq km (9,266 sq miles) will start in the fourth quarter of 2014 and is scheduled to last seven months. Two high-end vessels will be assigned to the project to ensure timely delivery of the data. The depth imaging of the seismic data will be performed in CGG’s Crawley center in the U.K.
