HOUSTON, March 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ION
Geophysical Corporation (NYSE: IO) today announced a new 2D
multi-client reimaging program off the Pacific coast of Central
America. The Maya Reprocessing program covers unexplored open
acreage that has not had E&P activity in 40 years.
Previous exploration wells along the margin suggest the presence of
an active petroleum system in the Pacific forearc basins.
E&P companies can use these data to evaluate the prospective
areas identified from the reimaged data. The program covers
~9,000 km of data that extend from the Tehuantepec Basin of Southern Mexico to the Sandino Basin of
Western Nicaragua and creates a
calibrated data set. The program is expected to be completed
before the end of the year.
"We have repeatedly proven the value we can deliver by
seamlessly integrating and reimaging existing data sets," said
Joe Gagliardi, Senior Vice President
of ION's E&P Business Development. "This approach
provides a cost-effective way for our clients to evaluate
prospectivity of new areas. A broad range of E&P
companies are looking to add new low cost reserves to their
portfolios and are interested in exploring some new frontiers."
