After completion of the 3D survey, 2D seismic acquisition will be started in the western portion of the areas.
The company said that the seismic survey aims to fully map a number of prospects prior to drilling.
The seismic data is expected to be fully processed by mid 2012 and interpretation and mapping will be completed later that year.
In May 2011, the L10A and L10B licences were awarded to Cove Kenya, operator BG Group and other joint venture participants.
