Cap Energy announces that a 3D seismic survey on the Block 5B, offshore Guinea-Bissau, started on November 04, 2014.
The contract was awarded to Polarcus Limited and will cover an area of circa 2,673 km2 over the Block. The survey is expected to take approximately two months to complete, after which the results will be processed and interpreted.
The 3D survey is expected to further delineate the leads and prospects identified by the 2D seismic campaigns conducted in 2011 and 2013 and the subsequent Rex Virtual Drilling (“RVD”) analysis carried out by Trace Atlantic Oil Limited, the parent company of the operator of the Block. TAOL holds the exclusive license rights to use RVD in West Africa.
