With the spud date of Cepsa and ERHC Energy’s Tarach-1 well on Kenya’s Block 11A set for the end of Q1 2016, a host of activities have launched to prepare for the well. The partners have awarded a drilling service contract following a tender. The block also saw logistics operations toward drilling begin.
The Tarach-1 is defined by four 2D seismic lines out of the 2014 survey. The structural trap is a 3-way dip closure against a north-south normal fault plane at 1,426 meters MD (-954m TVDSS) and covering a surface area of 12 sq km. The vertical closure is calculated at 220 meters at the P10 closing contour.
Contingent upon the results of the Tarach-1 well, a second exploratory well, Egole-1, may follow shortly after the completion of Tarach-1.
ERHC revealed that it has seen a surge in interest in farming into Kenya. ERHC is currently in discussions with several interested international companies.
