Offshore staff
(Port Stanley) Two sets of data acquisition surveys have been completed offshore the Falkland Islands, in acreage operated by Rockhopper Exploration. GSI acquired 920-km of 2D seismic over Rockhopper's licenses PL023 and PL024; the data is currently being processed in the UK, and will then be integrated with 1,830 km of existing 2D data on the licenses. One aim is to enhance analysis of the J1 prospect and other leads.
Offshore Hydrocarbon Mapping conducted controlled source electromagnetic surveys over the same licenses, the first such application in this part of the world. In both cases, processing/interpretation should be completed within four months.
