PGS wraps up 3D survey offshore PNG

Oslo-listed seismic player PGS has completed the Painimaut 3D multi-client program in Papua New Guinea.

Fast-track 3D GeoStreamer data is now available.

The Painimaut program targets a number of play types in the under-explored Papuan Basin in both held and vacant acreage.

The survey targets the Tertiary carbonate buildups and Mesozoic rift basins adjacent to the Papuan and Eastern Plateaus, as well as pinch-out plays and drapes over deeper structural highs.

The vessel Ramform Hyperion towed a 12 x 8 km x 150-meter streamer configuration to acquire data.

PGS imaging teams are now processing these results using the latest seismic imaging workflows, including FWI and a full prestack time and depth workflow.

Full integrity, high-resolution GeoStreamer data will be available in Q1 2021. Gravity and magnetic data will also be available.
