Kofiau PSC (Niko Resources)

Niko Resources operates Kofiau Block in the west of Salawati Basin and identified a number of prospects such as Dugong, Gajah, Calon, Ajek, Balig and Elit. Ajek has been drilled in 2013.

A semi regional seismic line across key structures in Kofiau PSC is displayed in Fig. 3.

Nam Con Son

Nam Con Son Basin is the southern most sedimentary basin offshore Vietnam. The majority of the basin is located in a shallow water (less than 200 meters) but to the north the bathymetry can goes deeper than 2000 meters.

Key seismic sections were published by Swiecicki and Maynard (2009):

Seismic expression of rifting events (Swiecicki & Maynard, 2009) shows 2 major rifting episodes:
1) Oligocene- Early Miocene rift system (Oligocene North-South extension)
2) Middle Miocene - Pleistocene rift system (Middle Miocene NW-SE extension)
