Erin Energy Corp. (ERN) said Sept. 14 it has successfully completed an acquisition of a new 3-D seismic survey off the coast of The Gambia.
Polarcus Ltd. was contracted by the company to carry out the survey using the Polarcus Alima, an ultra-modern 12 streamer 3-D/4-D seismic vessel. The survey covered about 1,613 sq km (623 sq miles) on Erin Energy’s A2 and A5 blocks.
The Houston-based company said it will now commence processing and interpretation of the data. Results are expected to be available during the second quarter of 2016.
Erin Energy is operator of the A2 and A5 blocks with 100% interest. The A2 and A5 blocks are located about 45 km (28 miles) offshore The Gambia and are on-trend with the recent FAN-1 and SNE-1 hydrocarbon discoveries offshore Senegal by Cairn, ConocoPhillips (COP), and FAR.
Erin is focused on energy resources in sub-Saharan Africa, including current projects offshore Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and The Gambia and onshore Kenya.
