Shell in 3D Seismic Off Western Australia

Shell Australia is planning to undertake the factory 3D marine seismic survey within the Browse and Bonaparte Basin offshore Western Australia.

The factory 3D MSS will comprise acquisition of approximately 3,750 km2 of 3D seismic data in Exploration Permits AC/P65, AC/P41, WA-534-P, and a very small portion of adjacent acreage for the purposes of acquiring sufficient data to fully-image the prospects on the titles.

The Factory Operational Area (OA) is located some 100 kilometers from the Kimberley coast of northern WA and is approximately 200 kilometers from the Indonesian archipelago and East Timor.

The survey will be conducted from July 1 to December 30, 2019.
