Searcher Seismic in conjunction with project partner, Fugro Multi Client Services (FMCS) announces that the Drop Bear UltracubeTM 3D reprocessing project in the Carnarvon Basin is now complete.

The Drop Bear Ultracube is the broadband PSDM reprocessed Willem 3D seismic survey in the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia, originally acquired in 2006.

Rachel Masters, Global Sales Manager for Searcher, said it is becoming increasingly more cost effective to reprocess existing, older surveys with a modern broadband algorithm.

“The reprocessing objective was to increase the deep Triassic fault block definition and assess the AVO behaviour, the results of the processing are impressive,” Masters said.

The Drop Bear Ultracube also covers the recent Pyxis-1 gas discovery by Woodside.
