Recent survey highlights frontier exploration potential offshore Argentina

摘要

The Argentine basin covers an unexplored area of more than 450,000 sq km (173,746 sq mi) on the outer shelf, slope, and basin floor offshore Argentina. In order to support renewed exploration activity and growing interest in offshore exploration, Spectrum is currently acquiring a 35,000-km (21,748-mi) multi-client 2D survey offshore Argentina. The new acquisition program will provide high quality imaging necessary to understand both tectonic architecture and prospectivity in the Argentine basin, using a 12,000-m (39,370-ft) streamer and dense fold geometry. Final deliverables will include both broadband PSTM and PSDM, with the first tranche of data expected to be available in 4Q 2017.
