Africa Oil Corp. and Tullow Oil are planning to recommence drilling activities in the South Lokichar Basin in Q4. The initial program, on Blocks 10BB and 13T, is for four wells with the potential to extend this by a further four wells.
The first two wells will be the Etete and Erut prospects in the north of the South Lokichar Basin. Other potential prospects in the program include further appraisal of the Ngamia and Amosing fields to target un-drilled flanks, with an aim of extending the size of these existing discoveries.
In addition, the JV is planning an extensive water injection test program in Q4 to collect data to optimize the field development plans.
Outside of the South Lokichar Basin a FTG survey over Block 12A commenced earlier this month to gain further data on this prospective area.
