EMGS commences 3D Multi-client EM Survey US Gulf of Mexico
EMGS will shortly commence acquisition of a 3D multi-client Electromagnetic
survey called Daybreak, which covers approximately 1850 km2 in the Alaminos
Canyon area, southern US Gulf Mexico.
The survey will acquire both DHI resistivity data as well as provide deeper
structural imaging data to be integrated with and improve sub-salt seismic
imaging in the region.
"The Daybreak project is the first phase in a planned multiphase, multi-client
program in the Alaminos Canyon and southern US Gulf of Mexico for EMGS. It
builds on and extends EMGS' extensive acquisition and integration efforts in the
Perdido trend in northern offshore Mexican waters", says David Hicks, President,
Western Hemisphere EMGS.
The EM data will aid oil and gas exploration companies in assessing acreage for
the upcoming western Gulf of Mexico lease round this fall.
The survey, which will be done using the vessel EM Leader, has a
planned duration of approximately 3 months, with possible extensions subject to
further industry interest. The new EM data will be processed by EMGS and be
available to clients before the upcoming Western GOM lease sale, fall of 2014.
The first two months of the survey is fully supported by industry funding.
