The Binh Minh 2 vessel has completed a 3,146-km (1,955-mile) 2-D seismic acquisition program in the SS-11 exploration block offshore Bangladesh, KrisEnergy Ltd. said in a press release. The 22-day program was conducted by CGG Services SA.
Block SS-11 covers an area of 4,475 sq km (1,728 sq miles) in the Bay of Bengal over the Bengal Fan. The majority of the block lies in shallow waters of up to 200 m (656 ft).
“The existing 2-D data sets were acquired in the mid-1970s, and this program will provide higher resolution data to confirm existing prospects and leads and assess the overall prospectivity of the block. It also will help us determine potential locations for a planned 3-D seismic program, to which we are committed under the work program obligations,” Chris Gibson-Robinson, KrisEnergy’s director, E&P, said.
Santos Sangu Field Ltd. is the operator of SS-11 with 45%. KrisEnergy (Asia) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the KrisEnergy group of companies, holds 45% and Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration & Production Co. Ltd. has a 10% working interest.
