3D Seismic Survey

Shearwater Geoservices has been awarded a 3D seismic survey contract to support appraisal of the carbon storage potential in the Bonaparte Basin, Northern Australia.

The project is scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2026 and will be executed by the SW Bly, with an expected duration of 50 days.

The collected geophysical data will be used to high-grade and define future injection well locations, and serve as a baseline survey for possible future 4D seismic monitoring.

The survey is Shearwater’s second carbon capture and storage-related survey in the Bonaparte Basin, following a similar campaign in 2024, which reinforces the company’s presence in the regional CCS market.
