Annexure A – Scope of Work




PART 1 – THE WORK




1.

Scope of Work




The recording of the following seismic program:




Name:

 

2012 GSLM Seismic Survey

Location:

EL14/2009, Tasmania Basin, Tasmania

Period:

February 2012

Size:

Approx 305 kms 2D Seismic

Program:

Seismic line locations as per maps to be supplied by Company 




Terrex will be responsible for the following services:




i)

GPS Line Positioning, Pegging and Surveying

ii)

Traffic Management

iii)

Line Clearing

iv)

Seismic Recording Operations

v)

Seismic Processing & Date Interpretation




Seismic Data Shipments




The Contractor will supply seismic data in SEG D Format on LTO High Density Tape Cartridges.




Two originals of all seismic data are recorded. The “A Copy” is couriered independently of the “B Copy” to the Company’s chosen seismic data processing centre.  Whilst the A Copy is in transit, the B Copy is retained on the seismic crew. Once receipt of the A Copy of seismic data is acknowledged by the processing centre, the B Copy is then couriered to the Company’s offices. 




This ensures that the two original data sets are not in transit at the same time.




Survey Timing




The planned acquisition time for this program is February 2012.
