Gippsland Basin, Australia: New data provides compelling insights in unexplored areas

CGG has undertaken a multi-phase, multi-year data enhancement and acquisition project, commencing with a major basin-scale reprocessing initiative (ReGeneration) and culminating in the completion of a new 3D acquisition and imaging project, completed in 2021. The new survey has provided expanded data coverage from the inboard shallow water areas, throughout the Central Deep, and into the previously unexplored deepwater areas. Preliminary interpretation of the final data processed with CGG’s latest proprietary imaging technology has yielded a number of key insights which further enhance understanding of paleo-depositional environments and prospectivity of the deepwater areas. The new data is already unlocking previously unseen depositional elements, with strong implications for petroleum system understanding.
