Seismic nodal technology company FairfieldNodal plans two new multiclient surveys in the Delaware Basin, the company said May 1.
FairfieldNodal is in the permitting phase for Barilla Draw and DB4A, the surveys to image Wolfcamp and other multiple pay zone objectives in West Texas and southeast New Mexico, and plans to complete them by October. Data might be available before year-end, Fairfield added.
Barilla Draw encompasses about 320 square miles in Reeves and Ward counties, Texas.
DB4A will use Fairfield’s ZLand cable-free nodal system on about 260 square miles in Eddy County, N.M. It is the latest extension of a large regional dataset shot in multiple phases over the last four years as part of a joint venture between FairfieldNodal and TRNCO Petroleum. To date, the venture has produced more than 1,700 miles of contiguous high-fold wide-azimuth 3-D data.
Dawson Geophysical crews will acquire the seismic on both projects in late May. FairfieldNodal will process data from the Denver processing center, which has handled Permian data for more than 30 years.
FairfieldNodal is based in Sugar Land, Texas.
