The survey, which began on 16 October 2014, was executed by PGS Geophysical Ltd. using high resolution GeoStreamer technology, and PGS Geophysical has already commenced processing the data, revealed officials from Eco Atlantic.

Colin Kinley, CEO of Eco Atlantic, said, “We are pleased to announce the successful completion of this survey on the Cooper Block. We appreciate the cooperation of all of our Block partners on moving our exploration program forward, in particular AziNam who provided excellent field operations supervision for us. The Atlantic weather is a challenge early in the season and PGS easily handled this challenge to complete a high quality shoot on time. We are moving forward to processing and further progress our exploration program with our Block partners.”

Eco Atlantic holds a 45 per cent working interest in Cooper Block, Tullow Kudu Ltd. holds 25 per cent, AziNam Ltd. holds 20 per cent and NAMCOR holds a 10 per cent carried working interest.
