Upstream gas company Sound Energy has completed a survey covering its acreage in Eastern Morocco.
As part of the airborne full tensor gravity gradiometry (FTG) and magnetic survey acquisition, a total of 26,700 survey line kilometres spread across an aggregate area of 22,800km² over the Tendrara, Matarka and Anoual licences was covered.
A new 2D seismic programme is also currently underway.
Together, the programmes are aimed at developing a better understanding of the subsurface structure and sedimentary succession.
The company noted that it received a preliminary high-resolution FTG and magnetic dataset.
Sound Energy said in a statement: “Critically, these results include the delineation of previously unrecognised subsurface features and a clearer view of the deeper structure across the three licences.

By GlobalData“The preliminary data provides a far more detailed view of a deep, thick Paleozoic basin extending over the three permit areas, bounded by a series of NE-SW and NNE-SSW faults.
“The NNE-SSW fault trend is coincident with the Paleozoic anticline identified on 3D seismic beneath the TE-5 Horst.”
TE-5 Horst is expected to be the company’s third well location as part of its 2018 exploration programme.
Upon completion of further data processing, the company anticipates having an improved understanding of the exploration potential of the licence areas.
