Abstract

Abstract

We present an integrated geological and geophysical study conducted during the acquisition and processing of extensive 3D Multi-Client seismic campaigns offshore Gabon. These campaigns resulted in two distinct surveys, the first of 11.500 km2 in the southern shelf, and a second of 5500 km2 to the north, offshore Libreville (Figure 1). The acquisition parameters and survey design were planned with seismic illumination studies, long offset streamers were utilised and the data was processed with a modern broadband sequence (Esestime et al., 2017).
