The 3-D seismic acquisition is planned to cover approximately 548sqkm with approximately 400sqkm of full-fold data as a result of seismic acquisition restrictions in the reserve forest. The contractor KazakhstanCaspiyShelf (KCS) is expected to complete the seismic acquisition and part of the processing over the next eight months.
Jean Roy, president and CEO of GeoGlobal Resources, said: “The acquisition and processing on our KG onshore block is complex, with land, marine and transition surveys to be merged into one cohesive 3-D seismic dataset.
“This 3-D seismic data will help define and confirm drilling targets that have already been selected from the existing 2-D seismic dataset. We anticipate OIL, as operator, will commence drilling operations on this block before the end of the third quarter in 2010.”
GeoGlobal Resources, through its subsidiaries, is engaged primarily in the pursuit of petroleum and natural gas through exploration and development in India.
