Kenya Exploratory Test Underway In Onshore Block 11A
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Cepsa is underway at an onshore Kenya exploration well in Block 11A at #1-Tarach. The prospect's mean estimate of prospective unrisked resources at the prospect is 66 MMbbl of oil, while the total mean unrisked prospective resources of all prospects and leads in Block 11A is 662 MMbbl of oil. The well has a planned depth of 3,000 m and the prospect is defined by four 2-D seismic lines from a 2014 survey. According to the company, the structural trap is a three-way dip closure against a north-south normal fault plane 1,426 m (954 m total vertical depth) and covers a surface area of 12 sq km. The vertical closure is calculated at 220 m at the P10 closing contour. Bogota-based Cepsa is the operator of Block 11A with 55% interest in partnership with ERHC, holding 35%, with the remaining 10% held by the Kenyan government. ERHC is paying 25% of its proportionate share of well costs and is carried for the remaining 75%.
