This bodes well for future exploration wells coming from drillships. Similar to the progression going on offshore Namibia, first come the surveys and then the exploration wells. If those hit pay dirt, then E&P, and FPSOs.

Deepwater seismic survey offshore Egypt reveals encouraging results for potential exploration

(WO) – PGS announced that early-out data is now available for EGY23 Merneith & Luxor MultiClient program. This provides the first 3D seismic data over the deepwater area between the Nile delta and the Herodotus basin offshore Egypt.
PGS said that the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) assisted with the 6,175 km2 survey. Data was acquired with PGS’ Ramform vessels and GeoStreamer broadband technology.
The survey provides the first 3D seismic data available over an underexplored and unlicensed deepwater area that was previously only covered by 2D seismic data.
The survey revealed a Messinian evaporite layer of variable thickness extends across most of the area. The survey is tied to the Kiwi-1 well, one of the few wells in this deepwater area, and primary targets are likely to be pre-salt Oligo-Miocene structures with clastic reservoirs.
GeoStreamer acquisition provides broadband data rich in both low and high-frequency information that can be used for structural interpretation and rock property analysis.

PGS has issued early results from its 6,175-sq-km EGY23 Merneith & Luxor multiclient survey offshore northern Egypt.
The map highlights acquisition and processing parameters for PGS' Merneith & Luxor survey. PSDM will enable accurate imaging of subsalt reservoir targets, the company said.

OSLO, Norway — PGS issued early results in late March from its 6,175-sq-km EGY23 Merneith & Luxor multiclient survey offshore northern Egypt.
According to the company, this is the first 3D seismic data acquired over the deepwater area between the Nile delta and the Herodotus Basin, and it is a co-operation with the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Co. (EGAS).
The barely explored and unlicensed area was previously covered solely by 2D seismic.
According to PGS, encouraging imaging in the pre-Messinian section is already apparent in this pseudo relief image from the early-out KPSDM full stack volume through Merneith & Luxor MC3D.
A Messinian evaporite layer of variable thickness extends across most of the region. PGS’ survey is tied to the Kiwi-1 well, one of the few drilled in the deepwater area. Main targets are thought to be presalt Oligo-Miocene structures with clastic reservoirs.
PGS acquired the survey using its GeoStreamer technology, designed to provide broadband data delivering low and high-frequency information for use in structural interpretation and rock property analysis.
