Barbados
Barbados' Energy and Environment Ministry recently announced the country's offshore oil and gas exploration bidding round for 26 blocks covering 70,191 sq km offshore Barbados.
The map image illustrates both Global Seeps coverage and block location. For further details please contact us.
This offshore area is relatively unexplored so oil seeps data is a valuable cost-effective indictor prior to new exploration. As well as a risk-ranking tool the seep / slick information can also be used in the planning of drop core sampling and geochemical surveys.

Cyprus
The 2nd licensing round offshore Cyprus is envisaged to take place at the end of 2009 / beginning of 2010. Interest has recently increased in this area with the Nobles recent discovery of gas offshore Israel at Tamar.
Oil seepage data for this area is available in the Global Seeps database which comprises a series of deliverables including probable slick type and confidence levels. More...
Gabon
The Government of Gabon has confirmed that there will be a new licensing round later in 2009, which is expected to cover the offshore deep water in the southern area of Gabon.
Infoterra has coverage of both the southern and northern areas within its Global Seeps database - several areas show high confident repeat slicks.

Greenland
As part of its Global Seeps slick screening programme Infoterra has been gathering satellite data offshore Greenland to locate the potential of natural oil seepage for a number of years. Data comprises over 550 satellite scenes providing a comprehensive baseline dataset of potential oil seepage, man - made pollution, ships and rigs.
Also in 2008 Infoterra carried out a number of near -real time slick mapping projects in tandem with a geochemical team out at sea to locate and sample natural oil seepage.
Infoterra is carrying out the largest tasking oil seepage and ice mapping projects over a number of new areas highlighted on the map image . The new satellite acquisition includes tasking the higher resolution radar satellite TerraSAR - X . Also due to the high risk of ice movement in this region Infoterra utilises satellite information to produce near -real time ice mapping . For further details please contact us.
