By Febry Silaban

Ophir Energy Indonesia, a unit of UK-based Ophir Energy plc, said that the 3D seismic survey in two blocks namely Bangkanai PSC and West Bangkanai PSC onshore Central Kalimantan is estimated to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.

?If the recording or data acquisition can be completed in November, that would be great. (We hope) this activity can be completed in Q4 2017. After that, of course it will be followed by data processing, then interpretation,? President Director of Ophir Energy Indonesia, Anggoro Kasyanto said to Petromindo.com.

Anggoro said that the seismic location is very challenging, remote, frontier, and almost no supporting infrastructure. "The seismic location in the two blocks is located in North Barito Regency with a total area of about 550 km2,? Anggoro said.

The 3D seismic acquisition is carried out by PT BGP Indonesia, a subsidiary of Chinese survey and geophysical services firm BGP-CNPC.
