Chariot Oil & Gas Ltd. commenced a 2-D seismic acquisition survey offshore Namibia, the company said in a Feb. 20 release.
The survey of about 1,700 km in the Central Blocks 2312 and 2412A will be conducted by SeaBird Exploration.
Chariot and its partners—AziNam (20%), NAMCOR (10%) and Ignitus (5%)—agreed to initially carry out a 2-D survey, which will infill an existing grid of data in order to gain a better understanding of the regional prospectivity of this large license area that covers about 16,800 sq km.
This will enable the company to optimize the design of the location and size of the 3-D seismic program required as a commitment during this current phase of exploration.
The survey is expected to take about two weeks to acquire.
