Announcements by the Directorate General of Oil and Gas (MIGAS) inviting tenders for new Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) in Indonesia has manifest a sense of urgency to evaluate potential acreage in the Arafura Sea. Hydrocarbon shows in the new Blocks are limited, but the geology of the Arafura Sea suggests that a petroleum system should be actively charging reservoirs in the region.
Confirmation of a working petroleum system however, is essential prior to acquiring or drilling this acreage. Such confirmation can be cost effectively derived, pre-drill, from seabed geochemical coring, heat-flow probe measurements and paleontologically dated seafloor cores. TDI-Brooks Int’l Inc. is negotiating with the Directorate General of Oil and Gas (MIGAS) of the Indonesian Department of Energy and Mineral Resources to conduct topical seabed studies to assess the presence and adequacy of the Petroleum System in the Arafura Sea. TDI-Brooks is pleased to offer the following non-exclusive programs. Acquisition is scheduled to commence in April 2002 using our research vessel R/V GeoExplorer. This vessel will be mobilizing for several projects in NW Australia from mid-December 2001. |
