Spectrum ASA, Oslo, in partnership with CGGVeritas and GeoData Ventures, has begun a broadband 2D multiclient seismic survey offshore West Timor, Indonesia.
The largely prefunded program will cover 3,340 km over the Timor trough, with CGGVeritas providing acquisition and processing services.
The survey area is an underexplored region with complex geology. Final deliverables are expected to be available in November 2012.
