VANOIL HAS COMPLETED its 2011 2D seismic program on Block 3B in Kenya. Vanoil's 100 per cent owned Blocks 3A and 3B in Kenya cover approximately 24,000 sq km and are part of the vastly under-explored prolific Cretaceous Central African Rift Basin System in Kenya.Vanoil's 2011 seismic programme in Block 3B covered approximately 398 line-km and was completed on budget and schedule. The programme was designed to cover several leads previously identified on the re-processed 1975 Chevron and the 2010 Vanoil seismic data in Block 3B. The 2011 seismic data is high quality with location, time and amplitude content having been jointly assessed and controlled by the contractors; Bureau Geophysical Prospecting (BGP) and RPS. This premium data has been gathered to further image some specific structural leads and as a reconnaissance programme to identify more new leads in Block 3B. In addition, the seismic programme was also designed to enable Vanoil to improve on the geologic model in the Lamu Basin, one of the three basins identified on the Vanoil Blocks.
