Offshore Mozambique
Multiclient data library
License an extensive library of 2D and 3D seismic data covering the entirety of offshore Mozambique.
Offshore Mozambique 6th Licensing Round
More than 110,000 km of broadband 2D and 15,000 km2 of 3D seismic data
Maximize geological understanding of offshore Mozambique
The opening of Mozambique’s 6th licensing round promotes exploration and production activities offshore Mozambique. Our comprehensive data coverage from shallow to deep water provides insight into the geology of the Mozambique basins. Paleocene and Oligocene submarine channels are targets in the Rovuma Basin; these targets remain a focus in the Mozambique Channel area and extend farther south. Explorationists have also successfully mapped and identified Cretaceous slope- and basin-floor fans.
Schlumberger, in collaboration with the National Petroleum Institute (INP) of Mozambique, holds an extensive multiclient 2D and 3D data library of offshore Mozambique ranging from prestacked time migration (PSTM) and prestacked depth migration (PSDM) data to shallow hazard 3D volumes. Available to license, these seismic datasets reveal the hydrocarbon potential of both shallow- and deepwater turbiditic systems. This library of regional seismic coverage enables you to map and derisk the sedimentary architecture of these clastic systems.
The 2D library covers more than 110,000 km of seismic data, including 68,000 km of modern broadband data with infill and 24,000 km of reprocessed legacy surveys using PSTM.
2D and 3D multiclient data library acquired in collaboration with the INP.
It takes regional datasets to thoroughly understand the offshore Mozambique frontier margin. Our multiclient seismic and nonseismic data will help you uncover the potential of underexplored reservoirs.
The time processing workflow included deghosting, noise attenuation, demultiple, and prestack anisotropic Kirchhoff time migration to provide a clear broadband seismic image of the reservoir targets. These datasets clarify geological uncertainties, especially in deepwater targets, by
- improving resolution of Tertiary and Cretaceous submarine fans and channels
- enhancing imaging of Jurassic tilted fault blocks and rift grabens
- providing further insight regarding the nature of the Beira High and better identifying the continental-oceanic boundary.
