PROMISING TIMES AHEAD WITH DISCOVERIES IN SENEGAL

摘要

SINCE THE 1950s, more than 140 offshore wells have been drilled off the coast of Senegal but it was only in October 2014 that a real breakthrough was made when Cairn Energy found the first of two significant deposits about 100km offshore. In August 2015, Cairn announced that evaluation, multi-well exploration and appraisal would commence and since then, promising results have been reported by the companies which have stakes in Senegal, including national oil company Petrosen, FAR and Kosmos Energy.
