The Veritas Viking II seismic vessel will begin work next week to carry out all the surveys, which will take 55 days to complete. CGGVeritas will start with the Zeppelin 2D survey in the AC/P53 exploration permit in the Ashmore Cartier region of the Timor Sea in the Vulcan sub-basin.

The survey includes a tie line to the 507km2 Zeppelin 3D survey, which will be carried out over part of AC/P50 and AC/P51. This will take place immediately following the completion of the 2D survey.

After the acquisition of the Zeppelin surveys, the 601km2 Floyd 3D survey will be acquired in permit WA-454-P, which covers the Marina gas and liquids discovery, along with the Breakwater prospect and two nearby leads. The Floyd 3D survey will allow more accurate mapping and resource estimation of the Marina gas and liquids discovery, and will enhance the ability to select a drilling location on the Breakwater prospect.
