Equatorial Guinea MC3D Multi-Client 3D Seismic Survey

Rio Muni and Douala Basins MP-FWI enhanced 3D PreSDM seismic reprocessing

DUG in collaboration with Geoex MCG, Perceptum and
Equatorial Guinea’s MHMD

Project Overview

9,525 sq km – One seamless 3D seismic reprocessed dataset covering 6 prospective blocks
Incorporates 6 legacy 3D surveys using DUG’s advanced broadband Q-PreSDM workflow
All surveys will be matched pre-stack and regularised onto a common grid
To correct for anelastic attenuation and dispersion, we use the power of MP-FWI to invert for Q within the VMB workflow and utilise a Q Kirchhoff Migration in the final imaging
Located over an area that has: (i) Five blocks on offer in the 2016 licensing round; (ii) Underexplored deep-water petroleum systems within the Douala-Rio Muni margin; (iii) Oblique passive margin developed over oceanic crust creates a unique setting for hydrocarbon generation and trapping.

Project Highlights

Exploring Equatorial Guinea’s distal hydrocarbon systems down-dip of proven hydrocarbons (oil and gas) in both Lower Miocene and Upper Cretaceous- Paleogene plays

Improved imaging and true amplitude response of turbidite channel / fan systems

The Ministry of Hydrocarbons and Mining Development, represented by H.E. Minister Mr. Antonio Oburu, has announced the upcoming EGRonda 2026, a new oil and gas licensing round scheduled to launch in April 2026

The Ministry’s open-door policy, which allows companies to directly apply and negotiate contracts with the government, will remain in effect until the launch of EGRonda 2026
