Petro Matad will undertake the first airborne survey of its kind in the mountainous desert areas of Mongolia to assess exploration opportunities.
The company expects to gather around 11,000 sq km of data.
In a statement it said: “The programme is designed to provide high-resolution gravity coverage, capable of resolving prospect scale structural features, to aid in correlation between 2D seismic profiles and extrapolate structural networks into frontier areas to optimise future exploration work.”
Bellgeo Enterprises will carry out the airborne full tensor gradiometry data acquisition and processing services beginning in September.
The technique has been successfully used for oil and gas exploration, particularly in frontier regions elsewhere but this will be the first time it has been done in Mongolia.
The results of the programme will be integrated with seismic data to high grade basins and generate prospects for future exploration drilling.
