Erin Energy has successfully completed the acquisition of a new 3D seismic survey off the coast of Gambia. Polarcus was awarded the contract by the Company to carry out the survey using the Polarcus Alima, an ultra-modern 12 streamer 3D/4D seismic vessel. The survey covered approximately 1,613 kms² on Erin Energy’s A2 and A5 blocks.

The Company plans to commence processing and interpretation of the data, with results expected to be available during Q2 of 2016.

 “We are pleased to report that the acquisition has been completed on time and within budget. We look forward to receiving the processed seismic data, which will allow us to build upon our understanding of the prolific plays in this emerging basin, and will assist our team in determining exploration activities on the blocks. We would like to thank Polarcus and our contractors for their professional and efficient work.” Chief Operating Officer of Erin Energy Segun Omidele told Energy-pedia

Erin Energy is the sole operator of A2 and A5 blocks with 100% interest. The A2 and A5 blocks are located approximately 28 miles (about 45 kms) offshore Gambia and are current with the recent FAN-1 and SNE-1 hydrocarbon finds offshore Senegal by Cairn, Conoco, and FAR.
