The Acheron Non-Exclusive 2D Seismic Survey consists of newly acquired seismic data with a regularly spaced 25 x 25 km grid over the relatively underexplored outboard southern Exmouth Sub-Basin. Acheron 2D, which lies immediately to the west of the Bernier Ridge, ties into existing wells and serves to further enhance the industries knowledge of this frontier area of the North West Shelf.

The data reveals distinct play types in the area covered by the survey. An outboard Jurassic to Triassic section with “Carnarvon-style” geology, a central Bernier Terrace with a thick Cretaceous to Ordovician and older sedimentary section and an inboard Bernier Ridge section, as seen in oil bearing Pendock-1, with Cretaceous sediments overlying Palaeozoic sediments.

The Acheron Non-Exclusive 2D Seismic Survey was acquired by Seabird Exploration’s M/V Aquila Explorer which utilised a long-offset streamer during acquisition. The ~2,600 km survey has been processed in Perth, Western Australia, as project operators, Searcher have instituted stringent QC procedures to ensure that all processing techniques and results achieved comply with the highest industry standards and expectations.
