A group led by OMV AG has begun acquiring deepwater 3D seismic in the western Black Sea offshore Bulgaria.
The group consisting of OMV 30%, Total SA 40%, and Repsol SA 30% will gather 7,740 sq km of 3D seismic on the 14,220 sq km 1-21 Han-Asparuh exploratory block that lies in as much as 2,200 m of water.
OMV said the data acquired will be used to determine drilling locations for two exploratory wells.
