ERHC and Repsol Launch Kenya Seismic Program

Thursday, April 24, 2014

ERHC Energy and its new partner and operator on Block 11A in Kenya, Repsol, have launched a 2D seismic program line km over the block. The survey is being carried out by BGP.

“Upon completion of the 2D seismic program this summer, ERHC and its operating partner will have satisfied the minimum work program requirements for the initial two-year exploration period under terms of the Block 11A Production Sharing Contract,” said Dr. Peter Thuo, General Manager of ERHC Kenya.

The 2D seismic program was designed to cover areas of interest resulting from structural mapping of prospective basins enabled by the airborne Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry (FTG) survey of Block 11A completed recently. The FTG survey confirmed that the Lotikipi basin extends into Block 11A significantly advanced the exploration team’s understanding of the internal structure of the Lotikipi rift basin and enabled the identification of the most prospective areas.
