Tullow starts survey in Orinduik block

Tullow Guyana B.V.has commenced an approximately 2,550 km2 3D seismic survey on the Company’s Orinduik Block offshore Guyana.

An advertisement in Saturday’s Stabroek News said that the survey site is approximately 102 nautical miles from the coast of Guyana and encompasses an area of approximately 1801 square kilometres.

Three vessels will be operating in the area.

The seismic survey is a further sign of stepped up international interest in the Guiana basin  where ExxonMobil has already made a huge oil find and found other smaller wells,
