Semai 2D Survey

In 2006 Fugro and Searcher acquired the Semai 2D non-exclusive seismic survey (5,221 kms), located between offshore western Irian Jaya and Seram Island, covering the Semai-Gorong Basin.

Interpretation of the Semai 2D non-exclusive seismic survey has revealed a number of large structures capable of holding significant hydrocarbon volumes at a variety of stratigraphic levels. The new seismic data indicates that the Semai-Gorong Basin has a similar dispositional history to the hydrocarbon-rich Bintuni-Salawati Basin.

Misool South 2D Survey

Fugro Multi Client Services, in conjunction with project partners, also acquired the MS99 Non Exclusive Seismic Survey, enabling the oil companies to assess the prospectivity of the deepwater areas located adjacent to proven producing oil discoveries.

The Misool High is the major regional high located between Seram Island and Irian Jaya and also includes the flank areas into the Seram Trough and Salawati and Berau sub-basins. This regional high trend is the main catchment area for any hydrocarbons migrating either from Seram Trough, Salawati or Berau sub-basins.

The Jurassic source rocks (Manusella Formation) are expected to be present in the trough between Misool and Seram Island and the MS99- data has revealed larger structural features also located in the deep-water portion which might provide valid traps for any oil migration towards the Misool-Omian Ridge.

Bintuni Reprocessing Project

Fugro Multi Client Services, in conjunction with project partners, have reprocessed lines from the TB87 seismic survey and in the coastal areas of the Semai Basin.
