Seismic survey
Â
Global Petroleum (AIM: GBP, ASX: GBP) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a contract with Seabird Exploration of Norway in order to acquire 834 km of full fold 2D seismic data covering Global's operated block (PEL 0029) in Namibia.

Â
The survey has been designed as an infill programme with the aim of providing better delineation of an extremely large, multi-level, dip closed prospect - Gemsbok -which has been mapped in the south eastern portion of the Global acreage.
Â
The new 2D survey is expected significantly to clarify the nature and extent of Gemsbok. In addition, the survey has been specifically designed to improve resolution of the deeper syn-rift section adjacent to the Gemsbok structure, as well as to provide a more accurate understanding of the deeper sedimentary sequence where it is believed potential source rocks are likely to be present.
Â
It is expected that the survey will commence towards the end of June/early July and take approximately 2 weeks to complete.
Â
Global Petroleum's technical team is both intrigued and highly encouraged by its recent work which has confirmed the Gemsbok prospect, a structural closure extending over 200 square kms. It is unusual to identify such a large, robust structure at prospective depths which does not rely on stratigraphic trapping.
