Bell Geospace to conduct FTG survey in Kenya

摘要

ERHC ENERGY KENYA Ltd has contracted Bell Geospace to acquire an airborne Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry (FTG) survey of Block 11A in northwestern Kenya. The selection of Bell Geospace follows a competitive bidding process. This survey aids significantly in the structural mapping of prospective hydrocarbon basins. Using a converted DC-3 aircraft, Bell Geospace will fly a dense grid of flight lines to measure small changes in gravity caused by changes in density of subsurface rocks. This survey method has been used successfully in Africa and contributed to recent oil discoveries in Uganda and Kenya.
