The first phase comprises of 2,700km of seismic data in the northern Mahakam Delta.

The company said the original and reprocessed data support the exploration potential of the deepwater area of the Mahakam Delta.

The interpretation of the seismic data since 2001 has suggested potential hydrocarbon prospectivity in the basin, resulting in the award of exploration acreage and the drilling of several exploration wells.

The data will be reprocessed with customized techniques to enhance imaging of the main structures and reservoir targets in the basin.

The core objective of the reprocessing program is to enhance definition of direct hydrocarbon indicators and amplitude versus offset anomalies associated with turbidite reservoirs seen on the original 2D seismic data.
