Following the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum’s announcement of an Offshore Licensing Round in a highly prospective area of the eastern Mediterranean, Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) has announced that it has 3,400 kilometres of modern MultiClient seismic data that covers all the blocks on offer in the Round.

Offshore Egypt is bounded to the south by the mature onshore Western Desert basins and includes the prolific Nile Delta cone.

According to the PGS’s release:

“PGS’ modern broadband data library coverage reveals multiple opportunities.

• Potential presalt carbonate build-ups
• Shelfal plays that have direct analogs to the onshore Western Desert
• Additional clastic plays that are comparable to the Nile Delta pre- and postsalt clastic plays

Coverage for the Round

Blocks in this round are well covered by PGS’s 37,500 km of 2D data with well and field ties. This comprehensive coverage includes all the blocks on offer.

PGS has a 22 000 km regional long-offset GeoStreamer 2D dataset and an additional 6 000 sq. km of 3D coverage offshore Egypt, offering an important link between mature eastern acreage and the western frontier. A PGS interpretation based on a basin modelling study that links the Nile Delta to the western frontier area is also available to fast-forward evaluations of exploration opportunities offshore Egypt.
