2D Speculative Seismic Data
Since 1989, various seismic contractors have acquired regional 2D seismic surveys in Equatorial Guinea territory under agreements with the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Energy. The most extensive survey (approximately 7600kms) was undertaken by Western Geophysical in 1998 over the previously unexplored deepwater areas. These data are available directly from Western Geco who should be contacted at their office in the UK. During 2002 reconnaisance seismic data were acquired around Annobon by GESeis.

Historical data Archive
Seismic and well data become the property of the Government on licence relinquishment. Some of these data are available to companies interested in evaluating exploration opportunities in Equatorial Guinea. Enquiries should be directed to the Ministry’s agent: ECL in the UK.

Interpretation and Analytical Studies
A synthesis report on the geology and petroleum potential of Rio Muni was produced by Exploration Consultants Ltd. in 1997, including time and depth mapping based on the historical seismic data. The report identifies pre- and post-salt exploration targets and enables rapid evaluation of the exploration potential of the region.

Two analytical/interpretation studies were completed in 2001 that access the historical well sample archive and outcrops from Rio Muni. A Biostratigraphic Report by Lacustrine Basin Associates addresses the age, zonation and depositional environment of the Cretaceous strata through new sample analyses. A Source Maturity and Geochemistry study by ECL and Geotrack addresses the timing of source rock maturity and hydrocarbon migration through new sample and oil geochemistry and AFTA analysis.

  • A study of the Equatorial Guinea Atlantic Margin based on new analytical data from the Rio Mun Basin as well as Ministry archive seismic and well data.
  • The new data includes AFTA, vitrinite reflectance, geochemical and biostratigraphical analyses of samples collected during Rio Muni fieldwork and from five exploration wells.
  • The new analyses provide a modern data set for assesment of the hydrocarbon system, and combined with the historical data,

Key elements are available in ArcView (GIS) format

 

NEW DATA ACQUIRED FOR THIS STUDY

  • AFTA® (Geotrack International) - 34 Offshore & 10 Onshore Samples

Lacustrine Basin Research Ltd have undertaken a detailed stratigraphic revision of the Rio Basin. The study is based on a complete re-analysis of samples from the five historical offshore wells.

A detailed biostratigraphic examination of the Cretaceous and Tertiary succession has provided more precise data relevant to the timing of sediment deposition, erosion and the significant changes in environments through time. It has been possible to distinguish disconnected Aptian basins and make environmental observations concerning the Aptian Salt horizons.

Objectives

  • Provide detailed dating of the sedimentary section.
  • Interpret the depositio

Deliverables

  • Fully integrated and illustrated report providing revised dating of succession and new environmental interpretations.
  • Well summary logs listings ages, biostratigraphic tops, lithostratigraphic and environmental data.
  • Well correlation chart and well seismic location figures.
  • Faunal and floral species range charts.
  • Comparison of Rio Muni data with that of the Gabon, Sergipe, Alagõas and Araripe Basins.
