The programme comprised the multibeam echosounder survey to acquire high quality seabed bathymetry data.

The information will inform the selection of locations for stage II heat-flow and stage III piston core sampling.

United said that operator TDI Brooks International returned the R/V Gyre vessel to Kingston for equipment reconfiguration, which has since departed to restart offshore operations.

The exploration programme aims to provide “independent, basin-scale evidence of active hydrocarbon systems”, as well as support commercial discussions over the 22,400km2 licence.
