Resources for the future….. through systematic SEISMIC INVESTIGATIONS The latest GESeis 3D survey First 3D survey in 1996 around Zafiro Field. All areas coloured RED now covered by 3D seismic, around 20,000sq. kms.. The State acquires 3D seismic on unlicensed areas through GESeis, its JV seismic contractor.
