National Oil Corp. of Libya has signed an agreement with ION Geophysical Corp., Houston, in conjunction with North Africa Geophysical Exploration Co. for a regional seismic survey in Libya.
To be shot in multiple phases, the survey will acquire 21,000 line-km of 2D data.
The first phase will acquire more than 7,700 line-km of long-offset data over the entire Libyan offshore.
Jason Robinson, vice-president EAME for ION’s GeoVentures division, said the program “is designed to create a comprehensive picture of the Libyan geology, tying all of the major basins and providing the deep imaging essential to understanding new exploration plays.”
