1986 Bejah Seismic Survey - Seismic Interpretation Report

Abstract

Sydney Oil (Pedirka) Pty Ltd contracted Norpac International to conduct the 270 km Bejah Vibroseis Seismic Survey. The survey has enabled Sydney Oil to not only further define the various prospects and leads within the prospect, but gain a better understanding of structural history of the study area, and its relationship to the surrounding region. The regional geology however is not as well understood due to many reasons as outlined in the interpretation report. It is recommended that prior to any drilling commitment, a comprehensive geological study be carried out so that the numerous prospects and leads within the permit can be appropriately ranked with reference to location, size and geological risk. As an additional aid in prospect assessment, direct hydrocarbon detection should be attempted via geochemical soil sampling and Landsat image enhancement. It is recommended that a combined gravity/magnetic study, properly integrated with the available well and seismic data, be carried out.

Following the geological and geophysical work recommended, further detailed seismic data should be acquired over those prospects warranting further attention.
