The company said that the new data will allow a further evaluation of the leads on Block Z-46 and direct future exploration activities.
Block Z-46 is an approximate 2.8 million-acre block in the Trujillo Basin offshore Peru that is operated by SK Energy, Sucursal Peruana.
Earlier, 5684 km of reprocessed 2-D seismic data identified a series of submarine fan deposits on the block, and multiple leads have been identified in both the Paleozoic and Tertiary formations.
Gulf United chairman and CEO John Connally III said that the processing of this new seismic data should be very helpful in developing the company’s understanding of the significant potential hydrocarbon resources that have been identified in this offshore block.
"We believe this new Z-46 data, coupled with our ongoing mapping of recently acquired 3-D seismic data on Block CPO-4, will provide valuable and enhanced definition to numerous exploration leads in both Peru and Colombia," Connally III said.
