Survey and data analytics company Viridien and seismic services provider SLB have completed a multi-client survey of the Bonaparte Basin, offshore Australia. The 6,760 sq km survey, prefunded by industry support, is designed to evaluate the exploration and carbon storage potential of the area, which has been described as "highly prospective but underexplored". The data, which is currently being processed, will be available in Q2 2025.```html Viridien and SLB Complete Data Acquisition

Viridien and SLB Complete Data Acquisition for a Multi-Client Survey in Bonaparte Basin, Offshore Australia

Overview

Viridien and SLB have recently completed the acquisition of a new multi-client survey in the Bonaparte Basin, off the NW coast of Australia, that has received industry support and prefunding. The resulting 6,760 sq km ultramodern PSDM seismic data set will provide a thorough evaluation of this highly prospective and underexplored area to improve industry understanding. The data is currently being processed and the final data will be available in Q2 2025.

Survey Details

The complex geological area has been historically challenging to image due to the presence of carbonates and the shallow water. The new survey will provide modern, high-quality data over an area lacking recent, or any 3D data. The data also partially covers a carbon storage block, recently awarded as permit G-13-AP. The survey deployed:

• Sercel Sentinel MS multi-component streamers
• Sercel QuietSea marine mammal monitoring system

Statement from Viridien

Dechun Lin, EVP, Earth Data, Viridien, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with SLB for the first time in Australia to successfully complete this large data acquisition project. The new high-quality data set will give interested players greater insight into the exploration and carbon storage potential of this promising area. We will continue to look for opportunities to invest in the country.”
