ACQUISITION OF NEW 3D SEISMIC - BOLIVAR
Global Energy Development PLC ('Global' or the 'Company'), the
Latin America focused petroleum exploration and production company
(LSE-AIM: 'GED'), is pleased to announce that it has begun planning
the acquisition of 100 square kilometers of new 3D seismic over the
Company's Bolivar Association Contract area.
The Company has previously reprocessed existing seismic over the
contract area and made an exhaustive interpretation. The
acquisition and interpretation of the new seismic data will enable
the Company to validate the previous interpretation and establish
the optimum position of the future wells scheduled to be drilled on
the contract area.
Although the major structural elements of the block have been
delineated using older vintage 2D seismic, the much higher
resolution data gained from a 3D survey will identify the smaller
features and ensure proper placement of lateral wellbores in the
fractured reservoirs. Using the current "fairway" concept, it is
necessary to locate the exact position of the various faults in
order to identify areas of maximum natural fracture density. A
portion of the 3D will be designed to image the Crisol gas cap, in
order to determine the continuity and limits of that reservoir
should the injection of associated gas become necessary in the
future.
The Company has engaged Third Coast Enterpises, Inc. to aid in
the design of an approximately 100 square kilometer 3D survey and
is currently in the process of soliciting bids for selection of an
acquisition company.
Once the design phase is finished and an acquisition company is
selected, the Company plans to move to the permitting and
acquisition phase of the projects which is expected to take
approximately one to two months.
