EAST SHETLAND BASIN - LOCATION MAP
INTRODUCTION
The East Shetland Basin survey (ESB09/10) is a joint TGS/PGS venture
which provides:
ƒƒ 2,800 km2
of new multi-client 3D high density data
ƒƒ Significant upgrade on previous data in this area
ƒƒ Improved imaging and resolution to further explore this mature
area and unlock future potential
Additionally TGS has reprocessed ESB00, acquired in 2000, with the
latest processing technology. Hence ESB00-RE09 complements both
the ESB09 and ESB10 surveys.
GEOLOGY AND PROSPECTIVITY
The ESB surveys span several blocks within the East Shetland Basin,
a failed rift basin within the Northern North Sea. The surveys cover
established fields such as the Cormorants, Hutton and NW Hutton
which produce from the Jurassic Brent formations, the main oil
producing reservoir of the North Sea. High density 3D data, with its
associated improved sampling, means that faults and flanks are better
imaged, which is key in this area where tilted fault blocks are the
main play.
The ESB surveys will enable geoscientists to exploit more fully
existing Mesozoic discoveries and will also provide new insight into
the remaining exploration potential of the East Shetland Basin which
is understood to include:
ƒƒ Hanging-wall fault terraces to large tilted fault blocks for Brent,
Banks and Heron Groups reservoirs
ƒƒ Slumped blocks of likely Brent and Banks Group reservoirs on the
fault scarp of large tilted fault blocks
ƒƒ Near field satellites with challenging lateral fault seal risk
requiring enhanced 3D seismic imaging
ƒƒ Combined structural and stratigraphic traps for Late Jurassic
submarine fan systems
ƒƒ Intra-Kimmeridge Clay sandstone reservoir targets of limited areal
distribution
ƒƒ Late Jurassic shore-zone sands along the western basin margin,
offering excellent reservoir properties due to shallow depth of
burial. There has been some significant success recently with this
type of play and our new data adds resolution and definition to
bring out similar opportunities
ƒƒ Combined structural and stratigraphic traps of the Palaeocene –
Early Eocene, previously little targeted by drilling within this basin
except above the principal Jurassic structural highs
This area has the potential to be re-interpreted for missed plays with
this state of the art modern data set which provides a step change in
imaging quality.
VESSEL DETAILS - RAMFORM VIKING AND OCEAN EXPLORER
Ramform Viking is a fully equipped high capacity seismic acquisition
vessel, capable of towing up to 16 streamers. Ramform Viking was
built in 1998 by Langsten SB, Norway. She is 86 m long, has a beam
of 39 m with a gross tonnage of 9456 tonnes and accommodation for
60 people. As well as comprehensive acquisition capability, she is
fully equipped for on-board seismic QC and processing, including PGS
Cube Manager Seismic Processing Software and Holoseis
Hi-End Visualisation System. Ramform Viking is in full compliance
with SOLAS, Marpol 73/78 and other relevant maritime and industrial
standards, EP Forum and IAGC requirements. Further documentation
and certification available on request.
Ocean Explorer is a six streamer 3D seismic vessel equipped with up
to date acquisition and onboard processing systems.
She is 81 m long, has a beam of 18 m, weighs 4458 tonnes gross and
has accommodation for 60 people. She has full on-board processing
capability. Ocean Explorer is in full compliance with SOLAS, Marpol
73/78 and other relevant maritime and industrial standards, EP
Forum and IAGC requirements.
Further documentation and certification available on request.
