Data available includes 2D seismic coverage of the Lower Congo Basin, a recently updated Geological Map and Database of the Onshore Kwanza Basin and a compilation of recent aeromagnetic data covering the Transition Zone and Shallow Waters of the Lower Congo and Kwanza Basins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Onshore Kwanza Basin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The recently updated geological map is an enhancement on original work carried out by Total in the 80\u2019s and more recent field work carried out by Sonangol in 2015. The latest study by DDMS in cooperation with Tectosat Ltd. integrates remote sensing techniques with outcrop sample data used for ground truthing, which has greatly improved the accuracy of the geological formation boundary locations and structural detail within the Onshore Kwanza Basin. The Enhanced and Fully Integrated Remote Sensing Geological Map (right) and ArcGIS Project, at 1:50,000 scale, is available across all blocks on offer in the Angola Onshore 2020 Bid Round. The Geological Database includes enhanced geological mapping, remote sensing data, digital petrographic samples, outcrop studies &amp; paleontological information.
