French geophysical services player CGG has begun the acquisition of a large broadband 3D multi-client survey in the pre-salt area of the deepwater Santos Basin offshore Brazil.
CGG said on Thursday that the Santos VIII was the most recent survey in the company’s on-going pre-salt program that delivered seismic data, enabling exploration companies to better evaluate pre-salt opportunities in advance of Brazil’s pre-salt licensing rounds.
Santos VIII covers an area of over 8,000 sq km adjacent to the Peroba, Pau Brasil, and Boumerangue fields.
