In collaboration with the Petroleum Agency of South Africa, a leading service provider of global multi-client geoscience products for exploration & production companies, Searcher, has announced a new multi-client 2D and 3D seismic rectification project Offshore South Africa.

The seismic data covers the Outeniqua Basin and its sub-basins, the Bredasdorp, Infanta, Pletmos, Gamtoos, Algoa and Southern Outeniqua Basins. The searcher has applied its proprietary post-stack reprocessing method to rectify navigation, metadata, amplitude, phase and time, creating a contiguous database that can be loaded into any interpretation software.

The expanding South Africa 2D and 3D seismic database will be available on the company’s on-demand web platform, sAIsmic, for easy access to explorers.

Commenting on the project, Searcher’s Vice President on GeoScience, Neil Hodgson said, “With the success of the Luiperd-1 well proving the spectacular commercial resource potential offshore South Africa, this then is an incredible time to be bringing a ready-to-interpret dataset over the basin to the industry. The Cretaceous source rocks of the Brulpadda-Luiperd trend extend along the margin on the north side of the Agulhas Transform, which provides a depositional onlap for hybrid clastic systems being brought to the basin floor. Brulpadda and Luiperd are just beginning of the excitement on this trend and we can confidently expect a lot more to come in this nascent superbasin.”
