By GlobalData"Thirty E&A wells, which is approximately 80% of wells drilled in the area, are tied by the Echidna 2D survey.
"The rift systems associated with these basins are among the most interesting exploration targets in the North Atlantic and we are confident the Echidna survey will provide a solid foundation for evaluation of the area."
The survey also incorporates the drilling results in one consistent, long offset broadband seismic dataset.
