According to the block’s operator Global Petroleum, the 834-km (518-mi), full fold 2D acquisition took only 10 days to complete, at a cost of around $740,000, excluding processing.
Processing will start soon and should finish by end-September.
Initial analysis of the data has confirmed the large extent of the Gemsbok prospect in 1,400 m (4,593 ft) water depth in the southeast area of the block.
Following processing and interpretation, Global will determine its plans for the next phase of exploration.
