Canada – Nova Scotia issues Call for Bids

8 Nov 2022

Searcher Seismic is pleased to inform that the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board has issued a Call for Bids for eight highly prospective blocks in offshore Nova Scotia. The Bids are due September 2023.

Available from Searcher Seismic for this open Call for Bids, is over for 13,000 km² of key 3D datasets as well as nearly 14,000 km of offshore Nova Scotia 2D.

Why is the industry focused on offshore Nova Scotia Oil and Gas Exploration and Production?

✅Prolific and highly underexplored – Offshore Nova Scotia has an estimated 120 Tcf of natural gas and 8 billion barrels of oil. Covered with: Gas Seeps, Oil Seeps, Slicks, Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator clusters in an area 2/3 the size of the US Gulf of Mexico, the margin has already produced 2.1 Tcf and has a significant amount of undeveloped discoveries awaiting development.

✅Excellent Seismic and other data – Searcher Seismic has available key offshore datasets for acreage in this Call for Bids. For example, five of the parcels are in the slope domain where oil shows have been discovered but only now is seismic data available to chase those reservoirs. The prospective portions of parcels 1, 2 and 3 are covered by the Tangier 3D. Acquired in 2014, this 8,502 km² WAZ PSDM state-of-the-art extraordinary data is available to allow the evaluations of these parcels. Plus, obtain 300% Exploration Credits for seismic licensed now prior to acreage award.

✅ Infrastructure and opportunities to monetize – Companies are eager to develop LNG export terminals. Plus, there are existing pipelines and an opportunity to recommission an offshore natural gas pipeline.

✅Perfectly positioned to provide Energy Security to Europe – Goldboro, Nova Scotia is about half the distance to Europe when compared to the Gulf of Mexico. The proximity to Europe provides Nova Scotia LNG and hydrocarbons an additional green and economic competitive advantage over US and others.

✅Net negative hydrocarbons – Offshore Nova Scotia can sequester and store over 100 years of Canada’s CO2 emissions.

✅ Great potential for joint renewable and hydrocarbon projects – Offshore exploration and production will facilitate development of wind and other renewables, plus tax credits are available.

The recently acquired Tangier 3D Seismic Survey, Nova Scotia 2D and 3Ds are now available for explorers to evaluate the bid round.
