The 2D multi-client survey, dubbed PeruSPAN, covers the offshore margin from the Talara basin in the north to the Pisco basin in the south.
ION Geo developed the programme in close co-operation with Perupetro, as the state-run entity is keen to upgrade the quality and quantity of data to support the promotion of future licensing rounds.
The licensing process has ground to a halt in Peru over the last two years due to long delays over permitting and legal obligations on prior consultation of affected communities.
