Peace is bringing hope, seismic exploration and evidence of exciting hydrocarbon-bearing structures offshore Somalia.

Enabling an enhanced regional perspective and revealing new potential plays.

CGG multi-client 2D seismic data across the Central Caspian Sea helps provide understanding of current and new petroleum systems in a frontier area.

Induced polarisation and broadband seismic used together can help de-risk exploration in the Hoop area of the Barents Sea.

With significant advancements in seismic acquisition technology, it is time to re-visit the East Shetland Platform.

Integration of seismic, well and potential field data has led to a better understanding of the petroleum system of the Adriatic Basin.

In 1996 PGS acquired a 1,600 sq.km 3D survey over blocks CI-104, 515, 115 and 116. This survey has now been through reprocessing using a broadband processing workflow and reinterpreted by PGS. Here we present an introduction to the petroleum geology of Ivory Coast and discuss the results of the interpretation project.

Well known for its challenging seismic imaging, the Central North Sea still harbours a wide range of exploration opportunities.

New insights into the geology and exploration potential of this underexplored Atlantic basin.

Using super-high resolution seismic data in the Hoop Fault System area of the Barents Sea allows for the clear imaging of very shallow reservoirs, with AVO effects visible even at shallow depths.

Using post well analysis in an interdisciplinary approach leads to a more confident understanding of complex petroleum systems.

A Prospective Pre-Salt Province?

The 2014 Phoenix South-1 well drilled offshore Western Australia has confirmed at least four discrete oil columns in the Triassic Lower Keraudren Formation. The discovery of exceptionally good quality light oil with a high API gravity and favourable mobility represents one of the most significant developments in the region in recent times. The discovery, made whilst searching for the extension of discovered gas, represents a new oil province for Australia.

Recent discoveries and development of hydrocarbon fields on the Horda Platform have led to considerable interest in the northern North Sea.
