Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>London-based Geopartners has signed an exclusive agreement with Mozambique\u2019s National Petroleum Institute to perform a new multiclient 3D geophysical survey over the country\u2019s offshore Angoche Basin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project will comprise acquisition of a minimum 12,000 sq. km of 3D Multi-Client data over Blocks that will be awarded following the closure of the current 6th Licensing Round,\u201d the company announced in a communique (see full text below).<\/p>\n

GeoPartners will apply acquisition and imaging techniques to improve illumination of complex structures to help reduce exploration risk and support potential fast-track production and development.<\/p>\n

Pre-acquisition permitting is underway, with the six-month survey due to start early next year.<\/p>\n

Early processed results should be issued by year-end 2023.<\/p>\n

GeoPartners Limited are pleased to announce<\/b><\/p>\n

the signing of an exclusive agreement with the Instituto Nacional de Petr\u00f3leo (\u201cINP\u201d), on behalf of the Government of Mozambique, to conduct a major new Multi-Client 3D Geophysical Survey in the offshore Angoche Basin.<\/p>\n

The project will comprise the acquisition of a minimum 12,000 sq. km of 3D Multi-Client data over Blocks that will be awarded following the closure of the current 6th Licensing Round.<\/p>\n

Advanced new acquisition and imaging techniques will provide better illumination of complex structures to help reduce exploration risk and fast-track the region for potential production and development.<\/p>\n

Pre-acquisition permitting has started and it is anticipated that the 3D acquisition will commence in early 2023, with an expected duration of 6 months to complete and with early processed results available by end 2023.<\/p>\n

Jim Gulland, Director of GeoPartners, announced, \u201cWe are honoured to have concluded this new Agreement with INP to acquire this very large 3D seismic survey in the relatively underexplored but highly prospective Angoche Basin. The upcoming new Multi-Client 3D seismic acquisition program will help accelerate the identification of what will surely be the next wave of major discoveries in Mozambique.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the 6th Licence Round, the Institute of National Petroleum (INP), on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Mozambique, has made available 2D and 3D seismic datasets for Multi-Client licensing. GeoPartners are the data release agent for these surveys that cover both onshore and offshore areas in the prolific Rovuma, Angoche and Zambezi basins and consist of 22,700 sq. km of 3D seismic, 41,900 km of offshore 2D seismic and 18,700 km of onshore 2D seismic.<\/p>\n

On 25th November 2021, INP announced 16 new licence areas distributed over four offshore basins; five blocks are located in the Rovuma Basin, seven in Angoche, two in the Zambezi Delta and two in Save, totalling more than 92,000 km\u00b2.<\/p>\n
