Spectrum Geoscience has started the Ceara Basin 2D multi-client seismic survey in the Equatorial Margins of northern offshore Brazil.
The area contains sectors of the 15th licensing round, which is expected to close in Q2 2018. Data is being acquired with a 12,000m streamer with continuous recording to enable extended recording lengths and high fold data to enable full interpretation from Moho to water bottom. The data will be processed with PSTM, PSDM and Broadband products with first deliveries in Q1 2018.
Richie Miller, EVP Multi-Client Americas, says: "When the survey is completed it will provide a continuous modern long-offset ten kilometer grid from the border with French Guiana to the eastern extent of the Potiguar Basin."
This survey is being carried out in partnership with BGP Marine using the BGP Challenger.
