WEST PERTH, Australia – WHL Energy says the CGG Viking II vessel has started acquiring the La Bella 3D marine seismic survey offshore southeast Australia.

The survey will cover a total of 867 sq km (335 sq mi) in the VIC/P67 permit and is expected to take 34 days to complete.

CGG will deploy itsBroadSeis technology to provide a high-resolution image of the subsurface geology of the La Bella gas field and surrounding gas/condensate exploration prospects. WHL adds that the data should allow a more precise definition of contingent resources and will assist development planning.

Final processed data should be ready in mid-May 2014.
