Data Package
The data package prepared for OBR3 contains regional 2D seismic lines, 3D seismic volumes covering the bid area, well data, bathymetric, previous operators report and selected regional studies of the basin's evolution and petroleum systems. For ease of use all the seismic, well and culture data were loaded into a Petrel 2019 E&P Platform Project. For more detailed information on the content of the package see below.

Wells
The well package comprises information and data from 3 wells that were drilled in the northern part of the Israeli EEZ between 2011 and 2012 (see list of wells and location map below). The package includes well log data in LAS format, composite logs, End of Well reports and additional technical reports and information.

Seismic Data
2D Data Set -

The 2D seismic data comprises of regional 2D seismic reflection lines (in SEGY format) that were acquired by Horizon in 1983, SPECTRUM in 2000, TGS-NOPEC in 2001 and Noble Energy in 2008 include lines that extend into the offered area (See map). These surveys are processed in time domain. X/Y coordinates are edited within the trace headers and the lines are ready to be loaded into any standard interpretation station.
In addition, scanned images in jpeg format of lines from the 1979 ODYSEE 2D seismic reflection survey that extend into the license area (See map) are included .
Field tapes and stacked data may be purchased separately.
3D Data Set -

The 3D seismic reflection data comprises a section of a survey acquired by previous license operators in 2010 that covers the central part of the offered area (See map). The package includes time, depth and velocity migrated volumes (in SEGY format) that can be loaded into any standard interpretation station.
Additional raw data, pre-stack gathers, velocity data and stacked offset data can be purchased separately.
In order to receive the data package a Participation Fee of USD 10,000 should be transferred to the Ministry of Energy through its correspondent bank, according to the details below. The Fee deposited in the Ministry's bank account should be equal to USD 10,000, with all other taxes and handling expenses payed by the bidder (Details of charges on the transfer order should be: OUR).
