A subsidiary of Savannah Petroleum signed a call-off order under its previously signed framework contract for seismic acquisition services with BGP Niger. The call-off provides for the acquisition of around 800 sq km 3D seismic data over part of the company’s R3 License in southeast Niger.
The data acquired will provide enhanced definition over 12 existing mapped exploration targets identified on Savannah’s existing 2D seismic dataset. The targets themselves incorporate stacked traps at multiple play levels (the Oligocene Upper Sokor, the Eocene Sokor Alternances and the Upper Cretaceous Yogou formations) which may be evaluated in single exploration wells. In addition, the historical application of 3D seismic in this basin clearly demonstrates that additional targets tend to be added to the portfolio through the additional coverage that the data provide.
Mobilization of crew and equipment is expected to commence shortly.
