Drilling Activity Summary
Description
A study conducted by FAR Ltd. for two Gambia blocks, A2 and A5, indicates a potential for 1.1 Bbbl of oil with an unrisked, recoverable net estimate of 926 MMbbl. The two blocks A2 and A5, are within the emerging Mauritania-Senegal Guinea-Bissau Basin and are on-trend with the recent offshore Gambia discoveries by Cairn Energy. Two drillable prospects have been mapped at prospects, Samo and Bambo. The Bambo prospect has been identified following recent mapping of the 3-D seismic and targets a separate reservoir objective on the same structural trend as the Samo prospect.
