Atlantic margin focussed exploration firm Chariot Oil & Gas has, with partners AziNam (20%), NAMCOR (10%) and Ignitus (5%), started a 2D seismic acquisition survey over about 1700km in the Central Blocks 2312 & 2412A offshore Namibia.
SeaBird Exploration will carry out the survey, initially 2D, which will infill an existing grid of data in order to gain a better understanding of the regional prospectivity of the license area (which covers approximately 16,800sq km).
Chariot said this will enable the company to optimize the design of the location and size of a 3D seismic program, required as a license commitment during this current phase of exploration. The survey is anticipated to take approximately two weeks to acquire.
