LONDON – Fugro Robertson should soon complete reprocessing of seismic data on two Moroccan offshore permits.

The consultancy has been working on 1,500 sq km (579 sq mi) of 3D data on the Foum Draa license and 2,000 km (1,243 mi) of 2D seismic on the Sidi Moussa concession.

On completion, the licensees, including Longreach Oil & Gas, expect to seek farm-in partners for drilling.

To date, Longreach says, 33 leads have been identified over the two permits, nine of which have gross prospective resources of 896 MMbbl in total.
