Acquisition completed for 2D seismic data offshore Comoros

摘要

BAHARI AND DISCOVER have completed the acquisition of an additional 2,330 km of 2D seismic data over their license area offshore the Union of the Comoros. The license area, comprising blocks 35 - 36 - 37 and totalling circa 18,000 sq km, is located in the western part of the Comoros and is outboard of Mozambique Areas 1 and 4, where giant natural gas accumulations (estimated at 175 TCF of recoverable resources) were discovered by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Eni SpA and partners, Discover's management team, through its previous company Cove Energy plc, was involved in these discoveries in Mozambique Area 1. This new 2D seismic survey, shot by ION Geoventures, follows the ratification of Bahari and Discover's Production Sharing Contract by the National Assembly of the Comoros in March 2014 and the earlier acquisition of 1,570 km of lON's East AfricaSPAN 2D seismic survey. The total 2D seismic data acquired by Bahari and Discover is now in excess of 3,900 km. Interpretation of the data suggests that the reservoir play fairway, which hosts the large gas deposits in Mozambique Areas 1 and 4, extends into the license area in the Comoros.
