New multiclient 2D seismic project launched in Rockall Basin

 

Oilfield Technology,

A strong partnership of GeoPartners, Seabird Exploration Multi-Client Ltd and DownUnder GeoSolutions, have announced a major new multiclient 2D seismic project located in the Frontier UK Rockall Basin offshore the NW coast of Scotland, titled Rockall Regional 2013/2014.

First significant data acquisition in the area for a decade

A successful 2013 reconnaissance programme has achieved a step change in multiclient 2D quality over existing legacy data and paved the way for a comprehensive multiclient 2D seismic project, the second phase of which was acquired during July and August 2014. This project represents the first significant data acquisition in this area for more than a decade.

A total of 5000 line km of geologically focused data will shortly be available for interpretation. The recent acquisition has adopted the same long offset broad band approach successfully piloted in the 2013 acquisition and processing.
