PROGRAM OVERVIEW

IThe ION Mexican Ridges 3D reprocessing program seamlessly reprocesses eight CNH legacy surveys over 28,600 sq. km. This fully

industry funded dataset provides a clearer understanding of the hydrocarbon potential in the Tuxpan Platform and Golden Lane area.

In addition to the confirmation of regional geo-trends, the reprocessed 3D volumes allow for detailed play-type analysis of onlapping

Mesozoic strata onto the Eastern Mexico basement, extensional roll-over structures, and further investigation into the shallow,

down-dip, amplitude anomalies within the Miocene compressional folds.

Fast Track data is available over all 28,600 km2 for evaluation of the latest blocks in Mexican bid Rounds 2.4 and 3.1:

• Fully reprocessed from raw field tapes

• Completely rebuilt anisotropic velocity model

o Contiguous TTI Kirchhoff PSDM volumes (plus depth to time products) with associated angle stacks available

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

→ Improve understanding of the geological features in the Mexican Ridges fold belt

→ Enable E&P companies to identify prospects ahead of upcoming and future CNH license rounds

→ Image underexplored and untested amplitudes in supra-detachment folds

→ Provide uplift in image resolution in the Tuxpan Platform and Golden Lane area

KEY COMPONENTS

→ Seamlessly reimaged contiguous dataset through 8 interconnecting CNH legacy 3D surveys

→ Utilize ION’s Accelerated Imaging for significantly shorter timeframes to produce anisotropic PSDM products from field tapes

Enhanced Fast Track TTI Kirchhoff PSDM

The Mexican Ridges 3D seismic stacks and velocity models allow for detailed hydrocarbon play-type analysis of onlapping

Mesozoic strata onto the Eastern Mexico basement high, extensional roll-over structures, and further investigation into the shallow,

down-dip, amplitude anomalies within the compressional folds. These anomalous amplitudes that are commonly observed on many

supra-detachment structures point to the presence of hydrocarbons, and their sedimentary history is indicative of robust

prospectivity within their depositional systems which include: paleo-canyons, channel systems, volcanic environments,

unconformities, and shale detachments at Miocene through Eocene levels.
