National Oil Corporation the operator of Block 14T will start the acquisition of 100 square kilometers in the northern basin after the integration of data acquired in a 20,000 line km of Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry (FTG) data over the block.<\/p>\n

The FTG by Fugro Airbone Services that has been completed according to National Oil Managing director Sumayya Athmani was after a gas seepage geochemical study and was meant to map tertiary fault systems, map volcanic and salt structures if present delineate fault-bonded anticlinal structures and horst blocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have already exceeded our work operation requirements having acquired geological studies, surface geological mapping, ground gravity data, 2D survey as well as a Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry one of the very few that have been carried out in the country,\u201d Athmani told OilNews on the sidelines of the local content convection<\/a> held last week in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

The company has already carried out a 500 kilometer 2D seismic in the Northern part of the block.<\/p>\n

The company says it plans to drill Kenya\u2019s first indigenous well from a 100% local company in 2016.s<\/p>\n

Besides this the company has also announced plans<\/a> to set up a seismic processing and data visualization center based at its Nairobi headquarters as well as a geochemical and petrophysical laboratory that will provide the wide range of analytical data all in 2015.<\/p>\n
