Block 12A, 12B

In the adjacent Blocks 12A and 12B where Tullow Oil, Africa Oil and Delonex Energy are joint venture partners 2017 is expected to see the processing of Full-Tensor Gravity (FTG) surveys over the Nyanza Graben and the Kerio Basin.

Block 12A which saw its first wildcat well in 2016 is expected to see renewed activity with the Full-Tensor Gravity (FTG) survey expected to provide further data on this prospective area where the JV partners drilled the basin opening Cheptuket-1 well in the Kerio Valley Basin.

According to Swala Energy the government of Kenya approved a new work programme submitted by the explorers involving carrying out a Full-Tensor Gravity (“FTG”) Survey over the block to optimise the location of the exploration well and thereby maximize its chances of success. The partners have until 16th of August 2017 within which to drill the 12B exploration well with Ahero-A provisionally identified as a potential drilling target.
