The PGS Apollo seismic vessel commenced mobilisation from Port Gentil, Gabon, on December 26, 2011
The 2,100 sq km 3D seismic programme is expected to take 42 days to complete. The survey is specifically designed to mature pre-salt targets for drilling in late 2012. Ophir holds 50 per cent of the Mbeli and Ntsina licenses and operates them; Petrobras holds the remaining 50 per cent of the blocks.
