The contract will be undertaken by PGS’s Ramform Challenger vessel, commencing mid-December.

CGX Energy president and CEO Stephen Hermeston said this 3D seismic program has been designed to better image the up-dip limits of the Eagle Deep stratigraphic play at the Turonian and Campanian and to cover the two early Cretaceous, Albian prospects (Crabwood and Kabukalli).

"We are enthused about these prospects which CGX plans on pursuing subsequent to the drilling of the company’s Eagle-1 well that will test the Eocene and Maastrichtian trend," Hermeston said.

Canada-based CGX Energy is focused on exploration of oil in the Guyana-Suriname basin.
