In a release, Aminex noted that Orca Energy Group Inc. (Orca) has recently announced that the 3D seismic acquisition program, covering a total area of 200 sq km to include the adjacent Songo Songo License with a ca. 12.5 sq km incursion into the Kiliwani North Development License (KNDL), has been awarded to African Geophysical Services LLP (“AGS”). Having now received all environmental approvals, Orca is targeting completion of the acquisition program before year end to align with the optimum weather window and assure highest quality data acquisition.
While the survey has been designed to better image the structural complexities of Orca’s Songo Songo gas-field, the data to be acquired over KNDL, at zero cost to the KNDL partners, will be valuable in identifying fault trends, improving reservoir definition and improving our understanding of the Kiliwani North and South structures.
Charles Santos, Executive Chairman of Aminex commented: “We are pleased with Orca’s announcement of their seismic contract award and timeframe for the acquisition of their 3D survey. The incursion into the KNDL should provide valuable data to improve structural mapping and refine the prospectivity of the Kiliwani North and South structures.”
