Swala Energy Ltd. awarded a contract to Polaris to conduct a 2D survey across its Kilosa-Kilombero and Pangani licenses. The contract was awarded on the basis of an extension to its 2013 contract. Polaris carried out the seismic acquisition program over the two licenses in 2013, in the course of which the company surveyed five basins and identified the Kito prospect.
The minimum commitment work program for which the contract has just been awarded includes up to 500 km of 2D seismic over the Kilosa-Kilombero license and a further 200 km of 2D seismic over the Pangani license. The company’s efforts are focused on the Kilombero Basin in Kilosa-Kilombero and on the Moshi Basin in Pangani.
Polaris was selected on the basis of its excellent work during the 2013 survey, including high acquisition rates, high-quality data, good working relations with the local community, and an excellent safety record. Polaris will be conducting the 2014 survey over areas it has a good working knowledge of.
Dr. David Mestres Ridge, CEO of Swala, said “We are pleased to have been able to again engage the services of Polaris. Their 2013 survey of the two licenses was very competent and the knowledge that they gained of the areas of operations should help them progress the survey over the prospects and leads that their earlier survey has identified.”
