The seismic program covered about 398 line-km and was designed to cover several leads previously identified on the re-processed 1975 Chevron and the 2010 Vanoil seismic data in Block 3B.
The company said that the 2011 seismic data has been gathered to further image some specific structural leads and as a reconnaissance program to identify more new leads in Block 3B.
The seismic program was also designed to enable the company to improve on the geologic model in the Lamu basin, one of the three basins identified on the Vanoil blocks.
The 2D seismic program in Block 3B included 398km of additional seismic bringing the cumulative total to 845km of 2D seismic coverage completed by Vanoil to date on Blocks 3A and 3B in 2010/2011.
The company’s Blocks 3A and 3B cover about 24,000 sq km and are part of an under-explored prolific Cretaceous Central African Rift Basin System in Kenya.
