The initial brute stack 2D data is encouraging and provides the first detailed subsurface view in one of the last untested large frontier rift basins in Africa. We would like to congratulate the Ministry of Energy &amp; Minerals for the successful completion of the acquisition of the first 1,000kms over the Odewayne block,&#8221; Sterling Energy Plc&#8217;s CEO, Eskil Jersing, said.<\/p>\n<p>The Company expects initial processing results in Q4 2017 and will thereafter undertake its own technical evaluation of the data.<\/p>\n<p>The Odewayne Block with potential estimates of 1Bn bbls has seen no seismic data acquired before this and remains undrilled although the scale of the basin and comparison with analogue basins suggests potential for developing a significant portfolio of potentially drillable structures. Gravity and aeromag has however already been acquired and interpreted over the entire 40,000 square km acreage which resolved several lows across the licences that are ground\u00a0 truthed as Mesozoic rift basins by legacy seismic data.<\/p>\n<p>Genel has 50 percent interest on the Odewayne Block while Sterling Energy (East Africa) Limited has 34 percent and has the remaining\u00a0Petrosoma Limited 16%.
