Block L8 (Origin Energy) • Acquisition of 900 sq km of the first ever 3D in Kenya completed in Dec. 2009 • Data being interpreted to identify a drilling location
Block L17/L18(EAX) • Acquisition of 410 km shallow water -transition zone 2D seismics currently underway • Specially-adapted boat to acquire data in as shallow as 2m water depths • Part of the Lamu Basin with high potential for oil and gas (Pemba island oil seeps just to the south and Tanzania Songo Songo Gas field further south)
Blocks L4 & L13 (SOHI) • Seismic acquisition planned for later part of 2010 • Pate-1 well in Block L-4 kicked gas thus blocks have huge potential for gas discovery
Lamu Deep Offshore (Anadarko Petroleum) • Acquisition of 5000 km of 2D seismic data to commence in April 2010 • Lamu continental margin wells have encountered oil shows • Anadarko hopes to undo the negative publicity resulting from the Pomboo well drilled by Woodside
Block 1 (EAX) • Block in Mandera Basin which has the only known oil seep in Kenya (Tarbaj oil seep) • Mandera Basin is an extension of Ogaden Basin in Ethiopia (with Calub & Hilala Gas discoveries being developed by Petronas) • 1276 km of 2D seismics to commence in Q2 2010
Block 9 (CNOOC) • Drilling Bogal-1-1 Well by CNOOC recently terminated at depth of 5054m • Well logging and evaluation currently ongoing • Anza Basin comparable to the South Sudan Rifts with proven production
Block 10A (Africa Oil Corp.) • Acquisition of 750 km onshore 2D Seismics to commence Q3 2010 • Block in Anza Basin, has 3 wells drilled, one well had significant oil shows • Anza Basin is the southern termination of the Central African Rif System CARS, associated with major oil fields
Block 10BB (Africa Oil Corp.) • Acquisition of 600 km of 2D seismic to • commence in may 2010 • Block is in Tertiary Rift Basin, comparable to the Albertine Basin in Uganda (recent discoveries) • Loperot-1 well in the block encountered very significant oil shows with minor amounts recovered by DST
Petroleum (Exploration & Production) Act, 1986 The Petroleum Act provides legal framework and regulates the negotiation of Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) with oil companies. • The PSC’s are subject to negotiations and are governed by: • The Petroleum Act, Cap 308, 1986 • The petroleum (expl. & Prod.) Regulations • The income tax (amendments) Act • Environmental management & Coordination Act 2000 – NEMA • Work programme - Negotiable • Exploration Period - Negotiable, (typically 3,2,2) • Acreage surrender - Negotiable, (typically 25%) • Surface fees - Negotiable, (typically 3, 5, 8 USD/sq Km) • Training fees - Negotiable • Dev. & Prod. Period - Negotiable (typically 25 years) • Govt participation - Negotiable (typically 15%)
