Basin, offshore Peninsular Malaysia.
The Ramform Sovereign vessel was mobilized to the acquisition area in March
2024 and the area coverage is approximately 7,800 square kilometers. Acquisition
completion is anticipated in July 2024, and processing completion is projected
for June 2025.
In partnership with Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM), PETRONAS, the custodian
of petroleum resources in Malaysia, this project aims to provide insights on the
exploration opportunities in a broader play fairway and to assess the carbon
storage potential across Penyu Basin area. The acquisition of this new seismic
data will enable clients to effectively conduct evaluation on the exploration
and carbon storage potential for the upcoming Malaysia Bid Round.
“We are very pleased on the commencement of the Penyu basin MultiClient 3D
seismic program together with our JV partners, extending the acquisition
campaign for the Ramform Sovereign into the second half of the year. This survey
marks a change in how clients use newly acquired MultiClient seismic data. In
addition to the traditional oil and gas exploration activities, this data will
be used to facilitate assessment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) potential.
By acquiring MultiClient seismic data with our Ramform vessels and GeoStreamer
technology we will provide high quality regional scale seismic data that will
improve regional understanding of the subsurface,” says Rune Olav Pedersen,
President & CEO in PGS.
“The Penyu Basin is one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting yet underexplored
frontier exploration hotspots, with the potential of uncovering new exploration
plays and CCS opportunities. We are pleased to be able to collaborate with MPM
and our JV partners to spearhead exploration in this region through a state-of
the-art GeoStreamer MultiClient 3D acquisition program. We continue to increase
our footprint across Malaysia as it develops into a key part of our MultiClient
seismic data library, and together with our partners, we look forward to
delivering high-quality seismic data across Malaysia and the Penyu Basin,” says
Kristian Johansen, CEO in TGS.
