CGG GeoConsulting will integrate newly acquired and processed 3D seismic data covering the entire onshore Saudi-Kuwait Neutral Zone. Kuwait Gulf Oil Co. seeks to identify resource growth potential of the area.
About 500,000 b/d of production—250,000 b/d each from onshore Wafra field and offshore Khafji—has been suspended since 2014-15 because of a dispute between the countries. Both parties agreed to restart production in 2016, which would initially involve small quantities (OGJ Online, Mar. 30, 2016).
CGG provided no timeline for its multiyear integrated geoscience study in Kuwait’s Neutral Zone.
