📋 Tender Overview
The recent Australian acreage release focuses heavily on the northwest shelf. PGS seismic data and studies provide excellent coverage for basin-scale evaluation prospect analysis and production planning of the opportunities on offer. This includes outputs of a recent collaboration with ION. The Australia offshore acreage release for 2020 offers blocks across all the major northwest shelf basin structures. Understanding the basin-scale geological framework and the various play types that exist within each of the major basins can help exploration teams optimize their evaluation resources and pinpoint specific settings that best suit their exploration criteria.PGS is uniquely placed to support exploration teams looking at Australia 2020 licensing opportunities with the tools to support the work such as our comprehensive basin reviews and integrated seismic products across the entire Westralian Super-basin says Rick Irving PGS Country Manager for Australia.A new collaboration between PGS and ION has added the WestraliaSPAN survey to the Westralia Access regional study providing over 25 000 km of data that is engineered for basin-scale evaluation.PGS and ION Announce Global 2D Exploration CollaborationThe regional study maps key horizons and ties wells across the entire shelf from the Northern Carnarvon basin through to the Bonaparte basin and provides commentary on the play types and key sequences expected in each basin.Well data has been integral to the study guiding the PSDM velocity model building and driving the reservoir characterization workflows. With a full suite of Prospect Scanner AVO volumes gravity and magnetics report and collaboration with local experts this is one of the most comprehensive studies of the North West Shelf to date. Nearly all of the W20 blocks are covered directly by the PGS Westralia Access and ION WestraliaSPAN surveys.Blocks W20-5 and W20-6 are situated over prospective Echuca Shoals Vulcan and Plover petroleum systems Mesozoic age. The PGS Aurora MC3D survey provides good coverage over block W20-5.The Aurora and Ichthys datasets were reprocessed in 2019 providing greatly enhanced imaging of the key horizons and fault systems. Improved results are provided byGeoStreamer broadband signal processingCascaded 3D demultiple techniquesFull waveform inversion.Including Caswell MC3D this GeoStreamer PSDM volume covers over 18 500 sq. km and provides a reliable and valuable resource that is great for prospectivity screening and ideal for inversion and other prestack reservoir characterization workflows.
