The Company Responsible for the Activity, Spectrum Geo, Has Already Requested a License from Ibama to Operate in Blocks ES-M-592 and ES-M-667, in the Espírito Santo Basin
Seismic studies are a good barometer to measure the level of offshore activities in the Oil and Gas market. When we see seismic studies being commissioned, we always hope that the chain reaction works and that they lead to exploration, production, and generate wealth and jobs.
The studies commissioned this time were from two renowned international oil companies, the Chinese CNOOC, which operates block ES-M-592, and the Spanish Repsol, operator of field ES-M-667, both in the Espírito Santo basin.
Both oil companies are relying on the 3D survey to evaluate the minimum exploratory program in the fields and will cover an area of 14,37 thousand km², which already includes the maneuvering space and the acquisition area (6.6 thousand km²).

The Executor
Spectrum Geo will use the vessel Hai Yang Shi You 721 for the study, and operations are scheduled to begin in December and end in July 2020.
The seismic data will be collected with reference to the city of Aracruz, in Espírito Santo, at a minimum distance from the coast of 50 km and in a minimum water depth of 1,3 thousand meters.
Port of Vitória will be the support base for the campaign, and the expectation is that every five or six weeks there will be, in addition to the embarkation and disembarkation of crew members, the loading of equipment, parts, and supplies, the refueling of diesel, and the unloading of waste.
The blocks ES-M-592 and ES-M-667 belong entirely to CNOOC and Repsol, respectively, and were acquired in the 14th round of ANP concessions.
