The five-week contract will be undertaken by PGS’s Ramform Challenger vessel this month.
CGX Energy president and CEO Stephen Hermeston said that the 3D seismic programme was designed to better image the up-dip limits of the Eagle Deep stratigraphic play at the Turonian and Campanian intervals, and to cover the two early Cretaceous Albian prospects (Crabwood and Kabukalli).
"We are enthused about these prospects, which CGX plans on pursuing subsequent to the drilling of the company’s Eagle-1 well that will test the Eocene and Maastrichtian trend," said Hermeston.
CGX Energy recently awarded a drilling contract to a unit of Diamond Offshore Drilling for the Ocean Saratoga semi-submersible rig to drill a well offshore Guyana.
