Orange Basin

Acreage in the deep water Orange Basin South Africa offers valuable exploration opportunities in one of the few remaining prospective open areas in West Africa. An exciting range of plays and leads has attracted strong interest from industry.  With favourable License terms, there is an established local market for potential hydrocarbon discoveries.

PGS acquired and processed 3660 line km of 2D data in the deepwater Orange Basin during 2002. The M/V Geo Explorer was used, towing a 6 km streamer. The survey ties into existing shallow water 2D and includes a number of well tie lines.
Gravity and magnetic data were also acquired PGS have interpreted the 2D and have produced a Prospectivity Report that is available together with any license of the seismic data.
