Cygnus 3DMulti-Client Seismic Survey, Vulcan Sub-basin, Australia
The Cygnus XArray™ Multi-Client 3D seismic survey is located over the Vulcan Sub-basin, offshore the North West Shelf, Australia. The survey comprises 7,240 sq. km of state of the art data designed to provide exploration companies with a high quality broadband 3D seismic dataset over this proven hydrocarbon province. Data is available now to allow evaluation of the open acreage over AC 16-03 for 2017 bid submission and to evaluate a number of other open blocks nominated for future offer.
The main exploration targets in the Vulcan Sub-basin are sandstones in the Upper Triassic Challis and Nome Formations, fluvio-deltaic sandstones of the Middle Jurassic Plover Formation, Oxfordian shoreface/barrier bar sandstones of the Montara Formation, Tithonian submarine fans of the upper Vulcan Formation and submarine fans of the Upper Cretaceous Puffin Formation. Plays occur in stratigraphic traps, pinchouts, unconformity truncations, tilted fault blocks, horst blocks and anticlines.
Historically, sub-optimal acquisition and processing strategies have not been able to address the geological and geophysical challenges including the energy absorption and multiple issues caused by the thick Late Cretaceous-Tertiary carbonates.

For further information contact:
The survey is being acquired in the structural dip direction using an XArray™ configuration: 10 x 112.5m x 8,100m with a 12.5m triple source shot interval and continuous recording, delivering 33% improved cross line sampling without any interpolation.
Pre-SDM processing of the first 2 phases of the program is completed, and acquisition of the remainder of the survey is set to recommence in Q4 2016 - Q1 2017. Data processing is by DownUnder GeoSolutions in Perth, and a deghosted Pre-STM ‘priority processed’ product for the Phase 3 data will be available 10 weeks after acquisition of the last shot-point.
