The Republic of Gabon has opened its 12th Licensing Round, offering 35 offshore blocks. PGS MegaSurvey 3D and 2D seismic datasets support evaluation of the areas, together with associated regional interpretation over most of these open blocks (see example below).

The Gabon MegaSurvey has been built in partnership with the Gabon DGH. The dataset was compiled over 10 years and consists of over 36 000 sq. km of merged 3D seismic data from 60 individual surveys, together with 6 836 line km of 2D seismic from 182 lines.


Contiguous and cost effective visualization tool

The surveys have been rebinned to form a contiguous seismic cube, providing a cost effective tool for regional evaluation and visualization of geology and plays. The MegaSurvey includes eight regional interpreted horizons tied to available well data.

The MegaSurvey data covers the majority of the available blocks, allowing an assessment of prospectivity and play potential. This dataset is an essential foundation to support successful bid applications.
