To complete the Petroleum Geo-Services’ Niger Delta 2020 Reprocessing package, an additional 1000 square kilometres of reprocessed 3D data from OPL 248 is now available and is well-timed for a reassessment of Nigerian offshore exploration opportunities.

The company believes that the recently signed into law much-awaited Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), 2021, with new preferential tax provisions for deep offshore projects, will further encourage exploratory activities in the Niger Delta area.

The West Niger Delta 2020 Reprocessed 3D survey covers blocks OPL 248, 249, 250, 2011, and OML 140, and spans two main structural provinces directly linked to the gravity-driven movement of the Akata Shale Formation. Enhanced imaging has been achieved by broadband reprocessing of PGS 3D data using modern workflows, resulting in a far clearer illumination of complex structures and potential exploration targets.
