Summary
Evaluation of up to 16,000 km of modern, high quality, long-offset 2D seismic data, acquired by Spectrum in 2014 over the Sergipe Alagoas Basin (Figure 1), has confirmed the extension of a turbidite channel system into open acreage offered in the ongoing licensing Round 14. This channel system has been proven to contain several billion barrels of reserves from recent exploration programmes, including the Barra, Muriu and Farfan discoveries. Integration of derived seismic attributes and potential field data has resulted in a better understanding of the main elements of the petroleum system, allowing for the identification of multiple untested play
types. This evaluation demonstrates that the undrilled potential offshore Sergipe may surpass the discovered resources to date.
