Johannesburg and New York-listed Camac Energy, on Tuesday said it had successfully completed its onshore 2D seismic acquisitions on blocks L-1B and L-16 in Kenya, East Africa’s biggest economy.

The 2D seismic program was conducted by BGP Kenya (BGP) and covers approximately 700 line kilometers on L-1B and 325 line kilometers on L-16.

This acquisition is aimed at identifying potential exploration targets in the Paleozoic, Jurassic, Cretaceous and Middle to Lower Tertiary sections, which are known to be oil-bearing in the East Africa region.

The seismic survey, paired with the previously completed airborne gravity and magnetic surveys, will be used to help identify potential drilling targets on the block. “The preliminary results from data processing in the field are encouraging”, said Segun Omidele, Senior Vice President of Exploration and Production.

“These seismic surveys are fundamental to advancing our onshore Kenya work program and our understanding of the resource potential on these blocks and will help us determine potential locations to begin our exploration drilling,” Omidele added.

Camac Energy is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on energy resources in sub-Saharan Africa.

Its asset portfolio consists of nine licenses across four countries covering an area of 43.000 square kilometers, including current production and other exploration projects offshore Nigeria, as well as exploration licenses offshore Ghana, Kenya, and Gambia, and onshore Kenya.
