Petroleumworld.com 12 08 06Chevron today announced that the company begun seismic operation on December 1st for its Plataforma Deltana Block 3.
“We are very optimistic that the results of this seismic will provide the data that will allow us to continue our offshore Venezuela exploration successes in support to Chevron’s upstream strategy”, said Ali Moshiri, President of Chevron Latin America Upstream.
“The ongoing success of Block 2 and Block 3 exploration activities will play an important role in the development of natural gas from Plataforma Deltana”, he added.
This seismic activity is aimed to advance in the company’s plans, jointly with Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), to evaluate Venezuela’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, which is planned to be constructed as part of the CIGMA Project in Güiria, State of Sucre.
The Macuira 1X, Chevron’s first well in Block 3, encountered six gas intervals with total gross thickness of 456 feet (140 meters) in June 2005.
Chevron operates Plataforma Deltana Block 3 (100 %) and Block 2 (60%). PDVSA will determine its interest upon declaration of commerciality.
