High quality
seismic data over the deepwater extension of the prolific
South Apennines oil play and the shallower gas producing
section.
Over the last decade four large oil
fields, containing over 1.0 BBO proved recoverable reserves, have be
discovered in Miocene-Cretaceous carbonates within the South
Apennines thrust system of southern Italy. The area also contains large gas fields, (Luna, 1.3 TCF
recoverable), in Miocene and younger clastic reservoirs.
Prior to the acquisition of Wavetech's South
Apennines-Calabrian Arc survey no significant exploration had been
conducted in the geologically analogous deep-water areas
offshore. For a discussion of the geology and
potential of the area, and to view some of the structures
delineated by the data.

area, including seismic examples from the survey. |
