The Archer 3D is being acquired, in conjunction with the contiguous WA-541-P joint venture, with an alternative azimuth to the current Capreolus and Keraudren 3D datasets, most particularly over the Dorado field. This 3D dataset will complement those two already existing datasets with support for Dorado development planning to ensure optimum well placement for maximum productivity. A fast-track processed volume of the Archer 3D will be available for interpretation later in 2021.
The Archer 3D will also allow for a thorough review of the attractive exploration potential in the area to the south-west of the Dorado field.
The Archer 3D is expected to take around 40-50 days to be acquired. The Geo Coral vessel will then be used for the Keraudren Extension 3D survey. The area to be covered by the Keraudren Extension 3D survey has over 30 prospects and leads identified using the existing 2D data in the WA-436-P and WA-438-P acreage. The acquisition of the Keraudren Extension 3D will commence in the south of the 2021 acquisition area, adjacent to the existing Capreolus in WA-438-P and head north.
Subject to operational and environmental approval requirements, the Geo Coral will use its multi-sensor streamer system for around three and a half months over the whole campaign, covering an area of up to 4,800 sq km.
