A consortium comprised of PGS, TGS and Schlumberger WesternGeco has secured the rights to undertake a multiclient seismic program offshore Malaysia’s Sabah, according to a news release.
The award, the result of an initiative by Petronas to stimulate offshore E&P investment activity, is the first time the multiclient model has been used offshore Malaysia, PGS said in a news release.
“Offshore Sabah sits in an active fold-and-thrust province that hosts a number of proven hydrocarbon accumulations,” PGS said. “An extension of the Brunei Baram Delta play, the primary exploration target has been Miocene deltaics with some younger Pliocene.” The potential exists for new plays in the carbonate and syn-rift section.
PGS said the basin is expected to benefit from modern, high resolution broadband 3-D seismic, which is necessary to understand existing play concepts and new potential plays.
The consortium plans to apply technology solutions that include multi-sensor acquisition using PGS’ GeoStreamer and WesternGeco IsoMetrix marine isometric seismic technology, PGS’ Towed Streamer EM technology and advanced broadband 2-D acquisition and processing techniques, the release said.
