Offshore Northland Supplementary Data Now Available

— filed under: ,

10 November 2009 - A supplementary data pack is now available for the Northland Block Offer. The data was acquired in March 2009 by CGGVeritas as part of a seismic survey over the Reinga Basin, which is contiguous to the Northland Basin.

The new data pack contains the Crown owned lines (REI09 12, 20, 28 & STRANSSP 205 & 306). The Northland Block Offer closes 18 August 2010.

The Reinga Survey was a joint venture between Crown Minerals and CGGVeritas. This enabled a survey with greater coverage to be made than Crown Minerals would normally have acquired. The joint agreement allows for Crown Minerals to release selected lines while the remainder of the survey is available from CGGVeritas on commercial terms. Enquiries about the availability of the additional lines should be directed to Ian Edwards at CGGVeritas.

A full set of the Crown Minerals Reinga data including selected Crown owned Reinga seismic lines, gravity and magnetics and an interpretation report for the whole of the Reinga survey will be released around the time of the Block Offer over the Reinga Basin. The Reinga Block Offer is expected to be announced in December 2009, but is subject to Ministerial consent.

For more information visit the Northland Block Offer page.
