Abstract

In 2017 Spectrum conducted a major 3D seismic acquisition programme of approximately 11,500 km2 in shallow water offshore South Gabon (Figure 1). The project was carried out in close collaboration with the Gabonese Authorities (Direction Generale des Hydrocarbures; DGH) and was driven by renewed interest in a proven hydrocarbon province. Continuing exploration since the 1960s has proven all the key elements: source rock presence and maturity, reservoir presence and effectiveness, seal and oil charge into structural and combined structural-stratigraphic traps. Indeed, many oil fields, such as the Olowi Field, have been discovered and are producing in the onshore and nearshore.
