<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 />
