A 3D/4D seismic survey currently being conducted in the southeastern portion of the Stabroek Block has been expanded to include the Payara area. The survey, which covers an area of around 1,260 square kilometers, is expected to continue until June 30 and the operation will incorporate the use of the Ramform Tethys, Thor Magni and Delta Monarch.
