Searcher Completes Phase 3 of Pelotas Basin Project

Searcher is pleased to announce the completion of Phase 3 of our multi-client 3D seismic acquisition in the Pelotas Basin, offshore Brazil. In this latest phase—executed in close collaboration with our partner Shearwater—we acquired an additional 7,500 km² of high-quality 3D seismic data, bringing the total coverage in the basin to over 17,000 km². This milestone delivers explorers an extensive, continuous dataset in one of the world’s most promising frontier basins. The Pelotas Basin is geologically significant, sharing a conjugate margin with the prolific Orange Basin of Africa, and attracts growing industry interest due to its untapped exploration potential. Final data from Phase 1 is now available, with fast-track data for Phase 2 also released. Fast-track data for Phase 3 is expected by end of Q2 2026, enabling companies to plan ahead of upcoming licensing rounds.
