PGS announced plans for Springboard, a new multiclient 3D program in the Ceduna sub-basin offshore south Australia using the company's GeoStreamer technology.
Acquisition is planned to start in late 2014 on this program, which will cover some 8000sq km of broadband GeoStreamer data.
The Ceduna sub-basin has become a popular site for exploration activity following recent round awards to major companies.
The Springboard survey area currently lacks any 3D seismic data. It is widely expected that drilling will begin in this deepwater area between 2016 and 2017. As such, companies will be seeking to improve its seismic data as soon as possible.
The survey will be acquired using PGS’ Ramform Sovereign.
