PGS, in co-operation with Petroci, have acquired 6,500 km of Multi-Client 2D data offshore Côte d’Ivoire.
The data provides a 7 km by 14 km grid of high quality seismic in this prospective frontier area, and includes well tie lines into key wells in the shallower water to the north.
The whole area is currently unlicensed, and it is planned to be part of a Licensing Round in the near future.
The Cote d’Ivoire basin is a petroleum producing basin. On the shelf are located the Espoir, Lion, Panthere and Foxtrot producing fields, while in deeper water to the south the Baobab field came on-stream in 2005. The dominant play in these areas is the Albian tilted fault block. |
