Norwegian seismic firm PGS has started a new 3D seismic program in the Porcupine Basin offshore Ireland for Woodside.
The Bréanann 3D seismic program started 27 June on Frontier Exploration License 3/14, says license partner Petrel.
The total program is over 2400sq km, of which about 40% relates to FEL 3/14, in which Petrel has a 15% carried interest.
The program is expected to complete within five weeks, but the processed and interpreted results will require many months thereafter. A further announcement of the results will be made in due course.
