Savannah Petroleum, during its capital markets event, revealed that the data acquired in its 3D seismic campaign on the R3 East Area in Niger are of excellent quality, and processing and interpretation of the data is ongoing.
Savannah’s subsurface work on the R3 East 3D Area has confirmed the existence of multiple fault blocks, which have similar configurations to the Agadem Rift Basin’s (ARB) existing producing fields and to some of the ARB’s largest discoveries.
The company went on to say that the interpretation of the R3 East 3D seismic data volume has allowed the confirmation of the previously-identified Bushiya and Kunama structures. The company will drill its first well of its upcoming program on the Bushiya structure.
It is currently working on enhanced seismic processing of the R3 East data, and will shortly take delivery of a series of PSTM volumes. These will provide additional clarity on prospectivity at the Cretaceous level and will allow the application of special seismic ‘attributes’ to better define stratigraphic trapping potential throughout the sequence. Structural trapping within the Upper Yogou reservoirs, which can already be identified in the initial 3D data, will be better imaged with the PSTM volumes. These enhanced data will also allow a more detailed definition of the robust Kunama and Eridal prospects, leading to a decision on which will be chosen as the third candidate in the initial drilling campaign.
