Initial FTG Results in Kenya Encouraging

Wednesday, November 27, 2013

ERHC Energy Inc. announced initial encouraging results from an airborne Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry (FTG) survey that began on November 20. Bell Geospace, a world leader in gravity gradiometry, is flying the FTG on behalf of ERHC’s wholly owned subsidiary, ERHC Energy Kenya Ltd. When completed, the survey will have covered up to 15,500 km.

“Preliminary results confirm the presence of the Lotikipi basin and it appears to have a larger extent than was indicated by gravity data acquired by previous operators of this area,” said Gertjan van Mechelen, ERHC’s exploration manager. “Obviously these results are very encouraging and we are looking forward to seeing the eventual final results upon completion of this survey. Those final results are bound to show in much more detail the internal structure of the Lotikipi rift basin and will allow us to identify the most prospective areas.”
