Brief description

During the period September to December 1970 the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) carried out an experimental airborne seismic survey in swamp and other areas of the Northern New Guinea Basin, which are inaccessible to conventional seismic land operations. A helicopter was used to place explosives, shooting equipment and geophones connected to sonobuoy transmitters into position on the ground. Seismic signals are received from the sonobuoy transmitters and recorded on a conventional recording system mounted in an aircraft flying over the seismic field set-up at the time of each shot. Preliminary investigations indicated that the airborne seismic technique is practicable and operationally feasible for use in the swamp areas of the Northern New Guinea Basin.

Statement: The BMR proposes to carry out an experimental airborne seismic survey in teh Sepik-Ramu area of the New Guinea Basin between September and December 1970. The survey area is located in the T.P.N.G. Permit to Explore P41 held jointly by the Continental Oil Co, of Australia Ltd. (the Operator) and New Guinea Cities Service Inc. The airborne seismic survey has been proposed to overcome the limitations of conventional seismic work. It should be able to provide relatively rapid seismic reconnaiflsance of any area of the swamplands.
