Presalt basins identified in Gabon: A new study indicates Brazilian analogs

摘要

Gabon, along with other West African countries, has seen an increase in licensing and exploration activity over the last few years, driven by initiatives to reduce the fall in production and replace reserves. A six-month licensing round opening in May 2010 and closing in November will offer blocks from two Gabon deepwater basins: Zone Sud, where the targets are presalt, and Zone Nord, containing both pre- and postsalt targets.
