"SCOPE OF SERVICES


I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION

(COMPANY) as Operator of block 12/11, plans to carry out Survey Evaluation and Design Study (SED Study) for a new 3D Broadband Seismic Survey (“SURVEY”) over an area of approximately 750 sq.km. The SED Study is expected to start from the late August 2023 and to complete within 16 weeks. The SED works will be carried out by a Third-Party Contractor (SED CONTRACTOR) whose processing centre is located in South East Asia region.

a) All necessary hardware and software provided to perform QC for this project;

b) Proposed QC Personnel to be available as required timeframe;

c) Provide QC facility and products as the industry standard in seismic consultancy;

d) Project progress monitoring and data quality supervision;

e) Supervision of reports on a regular basis, including the final report.

II. 2. CONTRACTOR shall provide, upon COMPANY’s request, the following services (“SERVICES”):

SED QC Consultancy Services: to provide the necessary services and one (01) SED QC Consultant to work remotely for duration of approximately 16 weeks from late August to December 2023 to perform Quality Control (QC), on behalf of COMPANY, the SED Study carried out by a SED CONTRACTOR. This includes working remotely from their home/office and a brief duration in ZNEPVN office, as well as a short QC meeting trip at SED CONTRACTOR’s venue to ensure the final survey design meets the required quality standards.


The scope of work for the QAQC consultancy is outlined as follows:

Database Investigation:

QC Consultant is required to work on brief duration of approximately 3 days in ZNEPVN office in HCM. This work involves a thorough review of all existing 2D/3D seismic, wells, and other relevant datasets in the survey area as well as clearly understand the objectives of COMPANY for the SED study and the next coming 3D survey.

QC Consultant, based on the findings from this investigation, is expected to establish sufficient knowledge about geology, geophysical details specific on the study area and the COMPANY technical, operation objectives for this survey. This knowledge will be used to supervise/guide the SED Contractor in their works to ensure the successful of SED study in both technical and timing manners.

The actual SED works is expected to carry out in two phases, and therefore the QC Consultant shall prepare him/herself accordingly.

SED Phase 1:

The first phase of the SED study is expected to be completed within 6 weeks from the SED study start date. During this phase, a comprehensive data review will be conducted, recommended parameters for the 3D survey acquisition configuration will be proposed, source modelling and directivity analysis will out be carried out, broadband cable configuration and line spacing determination will be done, and some preliminary vessel pre-plotting runs will be performed.

The results obtained during Phase 1 will be utilized by ZNEPVN to proceed with the survey pre-planning and tendering process.

The QC Consultant works, therefore to assist COMPANY to QC, supervise SED Contractor to meet the above objectives. QC Consultant is expected to work from his/her home/office and with the amount of time of approximately 2 days per week.

QC Consultant is required to attend 1-day QC trips to SED Contractor’s processing center before completion of Phase 1.

SED Phase 2:

The second phase of the SED study is expected to take approximately 10 weeks after the completion of Phase 1. This phase will involve the implementation of the remaining technical requirements, including 3D illumination, inline survey direction, survey operation plan (SURVOPT) and final processing sequence.

The QC Consultant is required to continue QC, supervise the SED works as well as review, comments all reports generated by SED CONTRACTOR. The QC Consultant’s work plan is expected to be 1 (one) day per week, and the work will be carried out remotely from consultant’s home/office.
