The Lotshi Block covers approximately 500sq km of the Les Zones du Bassin Cotier in the onshore coastal salt basin of western Congo and EnerGulf is the operator of the project.
The block is contiguous to Cabinda, Angola and is on trend with the M’Boundi field in Congo and situated in a similar geological setting.
It is also in relatively close proximity to the offshore Cabinda, Malongo and Takula field complexes operated by Chevron and the onshore and offshore Perinco fields in Congo.
As previously reported by the company, more than 200km 2D high quality seismic survey was designed to compliment and augment the existing historical seismic data and the recently completed aeromagnetic survey on the block to further define specific drill targets and to identify additional potential areas for exploration on the block.
Re-processing and evaluation by the company of existing seismic data on the block has previously identified multiple high potential prospects.
EnerGulf said it will immediately begin processing the newly acquired data and anticipates commencing an exploration drilling program once the results are mapped and specific targets are further defined.
