Viridien's Pioneering Seismic Program in Angola
Viridien has recently initiated a groundbreaking multi-client seismic reimaging program targeting the promising offshore block 22 in Angola. This initiative is designed to support the forthcoming licensing round in the country. Covering approximately 4,300 square kilometers, the program aims to provide significant insights into the uncharted structures located along the Atlantic Hinge zone. These findings will align with the successful trends observed in the Cameia and Golfinho fields.
Advanced Technologies and Regional Coverage
By utilizing its latest proven proprietary technologies, Viridien plans to enhance the existing block 22 seismic data set. The technologies include time-lag Full Waveform Inversion (FWI), Q-FWI, Q-Kirchhoff, and advanced techniques for deghosting and demultiple. This initiative will not only enrich the block 22 dataset but also complement the 2,900 square kilometers of data already collected over the adjacent block 20/11. This will result in a comprehensive regional coverage of more than 7,200 square kilometers of state-of-the-art broadband Pre-Stack Depth Migration (PSDM) data. This data will play a crucial role in evaluating both pre-salt and post-salt plays within the Kwanza Basin.
Support for the Angolan Energy Sector
According to Dechun Lin, the Head of Earth Data at Viridien, this program reinforces the company's strong partnership with Angola's national energy agency, ANPG (Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás e Biocombustíveis). Lin expressed enthusiasm for this commitment to a new reimaging project, emphasizing its potential to bolster the upcoming licensing round. Viridien prides itself on offering the most advanced 3D broadband seismic data available offshore Angola, continuously striving to generate vital support for crucial industry decision-making and enhance exploration success.
