Exploration

Voyager 3D, located in Johnson County, Wyoming, US, will encompass approximately 555 km2.

Well 6204/11-3 will be the first exploration well to be drilled in production licence 829.

The company is conducting an airborne Enhanced Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry multi-client survey - together with magnetic and Lidar data - over the Upper Egypt region of the country.

TGS has made a US$600 million offer for part of PGS's multi-client data library.

The objective of the well was to prove petroleum in reservoir rocks in the Middle Jurassic (Sleipner Formation) and the Upper Triassic (Skagerrak Formation).

Halliburton Landmark will deliver DecisionSpace® 365, its E&P cloud software, to support Petronas' upstream digitalisation initiatives and reduce exploration time.

The volumes are estimated to be in the range of 40 – 120 million boe – the largest discovery in Norway so far this year.

Wildcat well 7219/9-3 was drilled about 25 km south of the Johan Castberg field in the Barents Sea and 220 km northwest of Hammerfest.

Preliminary fluid samples and test results indicate at least 278 m (912 ft) of net oil and volatile oil/gas condensate pay in two intervals.

The drilling programme for well 6407/1-8 S & A relates to the drilling of wildcat wells in production licence 263 D.

The study offers subsurface interpretation for the entire offshore East Coast Canada.

Eni, BP and Total have successfully tested the well drilled on the Bashrush prospect in the North El Hammad concession.

Drilling at Ken Bau-2X, located in Block 114, Song Hong Basin, offshore Vietnam, has confirmed a significant hydrocarbon accumulation on the Ken Bau discovery.

ION will integrate and reimage approximately 24 000 km2 of MPME-held 3D data and can expand the scope to include 15 000 km of 2D data pending industry support.

Yannis Bassias, former President & CEO at Hellenic Hydrocarbon Resources Management (HHRM), talks about exploration in the Mediterranean, changes in the gas market, ultra-deepwater drilling, and explains why Greece “is not a declared gas province yet”.
