HOUSTON, Nov. 19 -- BP Egypt awarded a contract to Petroleum Geo-Services ASA (PGS), Oslo, to conduct a multi-azimuth 3D seismic acquisition survey over the recent Raven-1 discovery off Egypt (OGJ Online, Mar. 26, 2004).
The area is in the North Alexandria concession 40 km northwest of Rosetta. Using the seismic vessel MV Ramform Viking, PGS plans to acquire 3,150 sq km of 3D data in five directions, employing its proprietary multi-azimuth 3D process.
BP operates the North Alexandria concession with 60% interest, and Germany's RWE DEA holds 40%.
