Australia-based Austin Exploration has a 3-D seismic program underway at its Pathfinder property in Colorado, the company said April 16. Pathfinder is the company’s 11,560-acre flagship property in Fremont County.
The 3-D seismic zigzag prospecting tool will begin in section 18 of the property, moving northwest and southeast as further development occurs.
A geochemistry, geophysics and 2-D seismic program was completed in 2014. The 3-D seismic zigzag will further de-risk the property, provide more information about section 18’s fracture systems and assist the ongoing Pathfinder drilling program.
Mobilization and drilling has also recommenced in section 18.
Austin completed the participation and joint operating agreements for the newly formed Pierre Formation joint venture that was announced March 23.
Results will be communicated when available.
