Erin Energy Corp. has announced that it has successfully completed acquisition of a new 3D seismic survey off the coast of The Gambia.
The A2 and A5 blocks are located approximately 28mi (45km) offshore The Gambia and are on-trend with the recent FAN-1 and SNE-1 hydrocarbon discoveries offshore Senegal by Cairn, Conoco, and FAR.
Polarcus carried out the survey using the Polarcus Alima, an ultra-modern 12 streamer 3D/4D seismic vessel. The survey covered approximately 1613sq km on Erin Energy’s A2 and A5 blocks.
Erin Energy will now commence processing and interpretation of the data, with results expected to be available during 2Q 2016.
“We are pleased to report that the acquisition has been completed on time and within budget,” said Segun Omidele, chief operating officer of Erin Energy. “We look forward to receiving the processed seismic data, which will allow us to build upon our understanding of the prolific plays in this emerging basin, and will assist our team in determining exploration activities on the blocks.“
Erin Energy is operator of the A2 and A5 blocks with 100% interest.
