Following the unsuccessful drilling of the Lumba Lumba-1/1A well in
2008, Tap Oil proposed to undertake pre-stack data migration and
inversion of their Alpine 3D seismic data in Sulu Sea. Tap Oil
aimed to rectify seismic data quality issues, the result of which is
seen to greatly contribute in the de-risking of the numerous
prospects in the block and is integral to the selection of the next
prospect for drilling. They contracted the Australia-based
geophysical contractor DownUnder Geosolutions to perform the
re-processing and data inversion. The contractor completed the 3D
seismic data re-processing and delivered the full data volume and
processing report in July 2009. For the rest of the year, they
continued to work on the re-evaluation of the entire SC 41 block and
have started to undertake a promotional campaign to invite potential
new partners into the Sulu Sea block. |
