Searcher, in collaboration with the Petroleum Agency of South Africa, has released a multi-client 2D and 3D seismic rectification project covering Offshore South Africa. The Orange Basin recently gained global attention with the discovery of multiple billion barrels of light oil in Namibia, near the South African border. This success follows notable gas condensate discoveries in South Africa’s Southern Outeniqua Basin in 2019.

The South Africa 2D and 3D rectified seismic data includes 107,500 kilometers of 2D data and 8,790 square kilometers of 3D data. We have applied our proprietary post-stack reprocessing method to rectify navigation, metadata, amplitude, phase, and time, resulting in a contiguous database that facilitates the investigation of the distribution of plays and traps in South Africa and is suitable for preliminary exploration analysis, including basin modelling, isopach, and play fairway building.
