The 29th Frontier Licensing Round is the first licensing round in two decades to focus on frontier areas.

The expansion will see TGS acquire more than 11500 km of long-offset broadband 2D seismic data.

INPEX drilling operations resulted in the findings of a thin gas reservoir.

The company is to build upon its interests in the Humber and Widmerpool Basins.

The NPD has said that the exchange will allow for a better understanding of the regional geological conditions on both sides of the demarcation line in the Barents Sea.

CGG will deliver an orthogonal wide-azimuth integrated solution designed to optimise subsalt seismic imaging in the geologically complex deep waters of the Perdido area.

Continuous developments in technology have brought significant improvements to final image quality.

Gas and condensate has been discovered NorthEast of the Martin Linge Field (30/4-3S).

Douglas Westwood has reported that Brazil’s Congress has approved legislation that will remove state-controlled Petrobras’ obligation as sole operator on the country’s pre-salt developments.

The multi-survey programme is designed to improve industry insight into the region’s geology.

The ROV has set new records for both depth sustained speed.

BP decided that the drilling programme was unlikely to add value to its upstream portfolio in the near term.

The completion comes after the acquisition of 115 square kilometres of data in the Inhassoro field.

Both gas and oil bearing prospects identified ahead of fully carried exploration well.

The Buscador Near-Shore 2D Seismic Survey was acquired by Searcher’s project partner, BGP and comprises 11 200 km of high quality, long-offset, newly acquired 2D data specifically targeting the near shore areas covering rounds 2, 3 and 4.
