  • At least 7 prospects (defined by 2-D seismic), 3 independent play ideas

– 450 km criss-crossed 2-D seismic (250 km originally shot Fina and 202 km shot by EnerGulf)

  • Lucula (target reservoir in all seven prospects):
  • Forabola well drilled in 1970’s defined the Lucula Formation as the best potential reservoir on

the block

  • Lucula is stratigraphically equivalent to the reservoir at the giant M’Boundi field
  • Bucomazi is also a primary target in one prospect
  • Good reservoir properties in adjacent block to north
  • Fractured basement or “basement wash” is a primary target in two of the

prospects

  • Produced hydrocarbons in nearby Lindu well and in nearby Cabinda
  • The Chela Formation is a secondary target in each prospect
  • produces from the giant Rabi-Kounga field in Gabon and smaller fields in Gabon
  • Tested at 2000 bbl/day in a recent discovery in nearby Cabinda.
