FAR, Hunt Search for Drilling Partner for Offshore West Africa Field
FAR Ltd. has reported that Senegal Hunt Oil Company's technical studies confirm multiple fan systems with mean OOIP estimates of 183 million barrels for a single fan/single reservoir case further enhances exploration potential offshore Senegal. Fans are an alternative play type to the giant shelf edge closure reported earlier.
Analogue fields include Mexico’s Cantarell field, a super giant accumulation, and possibly North America’s largest. In pre-rift time Senegal was considered to be adjacent to Mexico before the African and American continents pulled apart.
FAR and Hunt are involved in a global marketing campaign aimed at securing a drilling partner on the above prospects and the giant 3D defined Aptian shelf edge prospect with mean potential exceeding a billion barrels of oil in place.
Provided the farmout process is successful, FAR expects to be free carried through one well the timing of which would ultimately be dependent upon rig availability and other operational parameters.
