Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) is underway with the acquisition of a new GeoStreamer® multiclient 3D marine seismic survey (Caswell MC3D) in the Browse Basin offshore Western Australia.
The Caswell MC3D approval area has an extent of circa 15,000 sq km, with planned acquisition of new GeoStreamer® MC3D data to be conducted in multiple phases within this defined area. The approval area covers several exploration permits where there has been recent drilling success in addition to three of the 2013 release areas (W13-1, 2 & 3) and adjacent open acreage, said PGS.
The survey will be acquired between now and December 2014. It will utilise PGS’s GeoStreamer® technology. The survey is supported by industry funding.
