<strong>PESIA</strong> <strong>Weg</strong> <strong>naar</strong> <strong>Zee</strong> <strong>2D</strong> <strong>Seismic</strong> 2012<br />
1. INTRODUCTION<br />
1.1 BACKGROUND<br />
1.1.1 GENERAL<br />
One of the strategic upstream goals of <strong>Staatsolie</strong> is to add 64 MMBBL crude oil to their reserves<br />
in the period 2008-2012 (<strong>Staatsolie</strong> strategic plan 2008 - 2012). By reaching this amount of<br />
reserves <strong>Staatsolie</strong> can keep its production level at 16,000 barrels per day and so sustain the<br />
operation of the refinery.<br />
In WNZ, 58 Km was acquired during the 2008 - 2012 period. 51 Km of <strong>2D</strong> seismic data will also<br />
be acquired in 2013 as part of the ongoing exploration effort in the Block. This will be part of the<br />
<strong>Weg</strong> <strong>naar</strong> <strong>Zee</strong>-Coesewijne <strong>Seismic</strong> Acquisition project of 2013.<br />
In the current project seismic data will be acquired with the objective of further delineation of oil<br />
finds in the <strong>Weg</strong> <strong>naar</strong> <strong>Zee</strong> and Coesewijne area. Secondly, the data will be used to identify new<br />
leads and prospects in these areas. Figure 1 gives an overview of <strong>2D</strong> lines (blue lines) for the<br />
data acquisition in the WnZ area.<br />
1.2 OBJECTIVE AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY OF THE <strong>PESIA</strong> <strong>2D</strong> SEISMIC STUDY<br />
1.2.1 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY<br />
<strong>Staatsolie</strong> contracted P-all Projects Supply Suriname N.V. to conduct this <strong>PESIA</strong> study. Annex 1<br />
gives information about the consultant.<br />
A PEIA has already been made of the <strong>Weg</strong> <strong>naar</strong> <strong>Zee</strong> prospective Area by Noordam and<br />
Teunissen in 2007/2008. Especially physical and biological information from these two reports is<br />
widely used in this <strong>PESIA</strong> as these artifacts don’t change in a short term.<br />
The objective of this <strong>PESIA</strong> study is to identify the impacts, the potential alternatives and the<br />
significance of the impacts to be considered in the activity; and to provide prevention, mitigation<br />
measures for negative impacts and to provide enhancement measures for positive impacts<br />
The following activities were conducted during the study:<br />
1. Desk research<br />
2. Field research<br />
3. Formulate the <strong>PESIA</strong> Report<br />
4. Formulate the ESMP Report<br />
1.2.1.1 Desk Research<br />
The desk research is based on theoretical knowledge derived from written sources and from<br />
knowledgeable persons. Special sessions were held with Ir.D.Noordam and Drs.P.Teunissen who<br />
have conducted the PEIA of the area in 2008. Experts have also interacted with selected<br />
stakeholders to identify issues that needed to be addressed in the <strong>PESIA</strong>. A public scoping<br />
meeting was organized on July 9 th at the Henri Fernandesweg to discuss the Project with the<br />
public.<br />
