Project Profile
Location: Republic of Guinea, West Africa
Water depth: 100 - 4,000m
Area: 25,000 km2
This licence, which is operated by Hyperdynamics, is one of the largest exploration licences in West Africa.
Some 10,000 line km of 2-D seismic and 3,625 km2 of 3-D seismic were acquired during 2010 and two exploration wells, Sabu-1 and Baraka-1, will be drilled in late 2011 and early 2012 using the Jasper Explorer drillship. These wells will test Upper and Lower Cretaceous aged prospects.
A further 4,000 km2 of 3-D seismic will be acquired in late 2011 and early 2012 to pursue a Lower Cretaceous, Jubilee-type, deep water stratigraphic play, similar to that proven by the Mercury discovery in Sierra Leone.
