What's Happening?
Shearwater Geoservices is set to begin a new multi-client seismic survey offshore Nigeria, focusing on the Western Niger Delta Basin. The project, supported by industry funding, is in partnership with Harvex Geosolutions and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum
Regulatory Commission. Scheduled to start at the end of 2025, the survey will be conducted by the vessel SW Duchess over a two-month period. The aim is to gather high-resolution subsurface data to support exploration decisions and future licensing rounds in this oil-rich region.
Why It's Important?
This survey is crucial for the oil and gas industry as it provides valuable data that can influence exploration and production strategies in one of West Africa's most promising regions. The project highlights the ongoing interest and investment in Nigeria's oil and gas sector, which is vital for the country's economy. By enhancing the understanding of subsurface conditions, the survey could lead to more efficient resource extraction and potentially attract further international investment.
