Searcher Seismic in partnership with Dolphin Geophysical announces the 2,880 km2 Rødspurv 3D high resolution non exclusive seismic survey in the Barents Sea APA area.
The survey is scheduled to be acquired in the early 2013 season and will utilize Dolphin’s BroadBand SHarp acquisition and processing techniques.
The Rødspurv 3D Seismic Survey covers acreage recently opened for exploration which is located immediately adjacent to proven oil and gas fields. Interpretation suggests that the survey area is likely to be charged from the North by the Mesozoic rocks located down dip of the Troms-Finnmark fault complex with potential reservoirs being Permian and Carboniferous clastics.
Annual APA rounds combined with increasing infrastructure in the region make this an exciting exploration opportunity with an industry demand for acreage in the Barents Sea at an all-time high.
