Davaria Non-Exclusive Geochemical Study
Unveiling the Petroleum Potential of the Gulf of Papua
In conjunction with its seismic program, Searcher conducted the Davaria Non-Exclusive Geochemical Survey to de-risk the geophysical data and investigate the substantial petroleum potential across the outboard Gulf of Papua.
To identify optimal locations for coring and geochemical sampling, satellite seep data, multi-beam bathymetry and sub-bottom profiling data were acquired and analysed. Additionally, heat flow data was collected to understand present-day heat flow and constrain basin models.
