BGP to start seismic acquisition in Kenya’s Block L1b in October

BGP will in the next four weeks start the shooting of 2D seismic in Block L1b onshore where CAMAC is the operator with 100 percent net interest.

This follows the award of the contracts for the 2D seismic in block L1b where BGP has started the initial field equipment mobilization as it prepares to conduct the survey covering 170,000 acres.

In the other block L16 onshore Polaris Seismic International Limited which has been engaged to conduct a 2D seismic survey covering 125,000 acres is expected to start mobilization in Q4 2014.

According to CAMAC the objectives of the seismic surveys are to identify the geologic prospect elements that could lead to a commercial hydrocarbon discovery and meet the obligations of the work program.

CAMAC has also announced that the processing of the acquired 2D data on L27 and L28 has now been completed and the processed data delivered to the Company and initial interpretation of the data has commenced.

The results were being processed by WesternGeco, a division of Schlumberger.
