Third party processing of 450 linear kilometers by DownUnder GeoSolutions (America) LLC in Houston, Texas, and Absolute Imaging Inc.<br \/>\nin Calgary, Canada, began as each seismic line was acquired, providing a very time<br \/>\nefficient and uniquely interactive approach to the processing.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, the initial processing results of the seismic acquisition has produced high<br \/>\nquality data revealing a variety of structural and stratigraphic features providing for a<br \/>\ntarget rich environment for the upcoming drilling program scheduled for early Q1, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>An example of the early processing results of a seismic line is provided below. This line<br \/>\nis shown twice, the first version an initial interpretation and the second, a clean version,<br \/>\nillustrates:<\/p>\n<p>1) The overall good quality of the initial processed data.<br \/>\n2) Significant extensional grabens with normal fault systems connected by steep<br \/>\nwrench-related shear zones.<br \/>\n3) Well-developed expansion of stratigraphic section in the grabens.<br \/>\n4) Good fault resolution, some major faults extending over several thousand meters<br \/>\nto near surface, and potential for multiple styles of trapping.<br \/>\n5) Consistency with the rift basin origin of the Kavango basin.<\/p>\n<p>Example Line 1; North South line, Central Kavango Basin.
