Atlantic margin focused explorer Chariot Oil & Gas has started a 3D seismic acquisition survey of approximately 2600sq km in Blocks 2312 & 2412A (the “Central Blocks”) offshore Namibia.
The survey is being conducted by PGS Exploration and will fulfill the work commitment for the Central Blocks.
Following the analysis of its survey of approximately 1700 line km of 2D seismic data acquired on the north western flank of the license in 2015, the company says it has identified several significant additional leads within the Upper Cretaceous deep water clastic turbidite system.
"Whilst there are drill ready prospects already identified in the Central Blocks, this 3D survey will enable Chariot and its partners to mature these new leads and further develop its inventory in this region, which it believes to contain giant prospectivity," says Chariot. The survey is expected to take about 40 days.
