    The document summarizes a 3D seismic survey covering 4,380 km2 of Angola's unlicensed Block 33. The survey was conducted over a prolific deepwater oil province located directly southwest of the giant Dalia oil field. The survey was designed to image complex salt structures and target hydrocarbon-bearing tertiary turbidite reservoirs. Key highlights include excellent subsalt imaging of the presalt section and detailed mapping of tertiary channel systems near the producing Calulu oil field.

    Lower Congo Basin 3D


    The Lower Congo Basin is a prolific deepwater oil province located offshore Angola with significant discoveries and fields,
    such as the giant Dalia and Girassol. CGG offers a 3D survey within this promising region covering 4,380 km2 over the
    unlicensed Block 33.

    Overview
    The Angola-00 survey covers close to 90 % of the unlicensed
    Block 33 in the deep waters of Angola. It lies within a very
    attractive area, just 10 km south-west of the giant Dalia field
    with the Calulu Field being located within the survey. Only five
    wells have been drilled so far within this block, leaving a largely
    underexplored potential over the survey area, especially within
    the pre-salt section. As prospectivity within this basin lies within
    Tertiary turbidites, the Angola-00 survey was specially designed
    to target this unit whilst also providing clear imaging through the
    complex salt structures present in the area.

    Highlights
    • Total data coverage of 4,380 km2
    • Key location within unlicensed acreage directly south-west of
    the Dalia field development
    • Subsalt imaging and detailed mapping of the Tertiary turbidite
    system

    Geological setting
    Early Cretaceous rifting resulted in the separation of Africa and Block 33, and a NE-SW orientation of the prospective Tertiary
    South America as Gondwana began to break up. The pre-rift geology channels has been identified.
    beneath the Aptian salt has remained largely unaltered and is
    believed to be consistent from one continent to the other. A series
    of analogous basins on both sides of the Atlantic can be traced Calulu Field
    flat spot
    along the entire length of the conjugate African and South American
    margins. Each of these basins contain early Cretaceous organic-rich
    source rocks which formed in deep, anoxic, lacustrine syn-rift basins
    and an extensive post-rift, Aptian-aged salt layer which acts as a
    regionally extensive seal.
    The dominant Tertiary play within the Lower Congo Basin consists
    of confined slope channel systems developed in the Oligocene and
    Miocene directly overlying mature Iabe source rocks. These channels
    are trapped by a series of salt-induced pillow and turtle structures.
    A very successful exploration campaign has proven this play
    throughout Blocks 15, 17 and 18, which lie directly northeast of Seismic section showing the Calulu Field flat spot.
