Namibe Basin - Angola - 2014

ANG Namibe 3D GeoStreamer

Reveals pre and postsalt prospectivity of this frontier basin
Website Map for Survey Block 27-28-29
Over 11 100 sq. km of data covering Angolan offshore blocks 27, 28, 29 and 11.
Exploration targets include thick syn-rift and sag sedimentary successions, which lie beneath a well-developed evaporite layer, together with a sand-rich postsalt interval.
Multisensor 3D GeoStreamer data has been combined with modern processing and imaging workflows to identify and unlock the presalt and postsalt plays.
