Exploration

Two wells at the Cappahayden and Cambriol prospects, drilled this summer in the Flemish Pass Basin, have proven the presence of hydrocarbons.

Impact has acquired ExxonMobil and Equinor's interests in the Transkei & Algoa Exploration Right and the Tugela South Exploration Right, offshore South Africa.

Drilling at the Luiperd well has encountered 73 m of net gas condensate pay in well-developed good quality Lower Cretaceous reservoirs.

The estimate for the new oil discovery is between 0.5 and 3.2 million m3 of recoverable oil equivalent.

CGG is preparing for Phase II of its Nebula 3D survey in the Campos and Santos Basins offshore Brazil.

A seismic consortium comprising PGS, TGS and WesternGeco has been awarded a multi-year contract by Petronas to acquire and process multi-sensor multi-client 3D data in the Sarawak Basin.

Well 7018/5-1 will be drilled from the West Hercules drilling facility.

The survey, for an unnamed NOC, will commence in 4Q20.

The two companies have agreed to work together on various projects to promote the use of marine CSEM technology.

The project covers an area of approximately 82 000 km2 offshore Nigeria and will incorporate 17 seabed heat flow measurements and 253 seabed cores.

The Walker Ridge programme covers approximately 300 OCS blocks including two priority areas of significant industry interest.

Wireline logs indicated significant natural gas pay totalling approximately 589 net ft at the Ortoire exploration block, onshore in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.

Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo (PGNiG) has signed an investment agreement with Energy Resources of Ukraine (ERU) on a joint exploration and production project in Ukraine.

The investment from bp Ventures, Woodside Energy and Blue Ocean Monitoring will be deployed to continue the development of a fully integrated system which uses long endurance self-repositioning autonomous underwater nodes to conduct offshore seismic surveys.

The company will begin acquiring and processing new 3D seismic data in 4Q20.
