HOUSTON, Nov. 3 – Spectrum ASA, Oslo, will reprocess 6,000 line-km of seismic data off Madagascar under an agreement with state-owned OMNIS.

The surveys include data offshore the west, south, and east coasts and are located in the Morondava and Majunga basins, the Cap Ste.-Marie, and Ile Sainte-Marie areas, respectively.

Spectrum will produce new datasets for open blocks off the south and east coasts, and the west coast where a long line ties both awarded and open blocks.

Previous interpretation of the data suggests encouraging prospectivity for hydrocarbons, Spectrum said.
