Airbus Defence and Space a= nd seismic multi-client acquisition and imaging specialist Spectrum Geo hav= e launched a 2D seismic and seep study programme for the Porcupine Basin, j= ust ahead of the Irish Licensing Round.
14,000 km reproc= essed 2D seismic data complementing the 2D seismic data acquired by PAD (Pe= troleum Affairs Division)

This joint analysis correlate= s natural oil seeps identified from radar satellites with 2D seismic data t= o assist hydrocarbon exploration in this region and is set to provide addit= ional insight into the prospectivity of Irish waters. The analysis draws on= the expertise of the individual partners, combining Spectrum Geo=E2=80=99s= sub-surface seismic information with Airbus Defence and Space=E2=80=99s su= rface seeps data.
Prior to exploration , oil companies need to review as much information = as possible relating to the prospectivity within a region... using the most= cost-effective and accurate methods available.
Spect= rum has reprocessed 14,000km of regional 2D seismic data, complementing pre= ceding surveys and integrating gravity, magnetics and well data. An updated= extract from the Airbus Defence and Space Global Seeps Database provides s= ea surface slick locations together with confidence levels based on the ana= lysis of multi-temporal satellite radar data. Results are encouraging with = a strong correlation between higher confidence slicks and seismic features.=
E= xample of oil slick identified in the region
These results will offer a new perspective on the hydr= ocarbon potential in the region, supporting both the ongoing licensing roun= d and future exploration.
The Spectrum group provides innovative Multi-Client seismic surveys and = high-quality Seismic Imaging services to the global oil and gas industry fr= om offices in Norway, UK, USA, Brazil, Egypt, Australia, Indonesia and Sing= apore.
Airbus Defence and Space is a division of Airbus Group formed by combini= ng the business activities of Cassidian, Astrium and Airbus Military. The n= ew division is Europe=E2=80=99s number one defence and space enterprise, th= e second largest space business worldwide and among the top ten global defe= nce enterprises. It employs more than 38,000 employees generating revenues = of approximately =E2=82=AC13 billion per year.
