Senegal: Cairn 3D seismic shoot launched

The Polarcus Adira vessel has begun acquiring a 2,603km2 3D seismic survey for Cairn Energy over the Sangomar, Sangomar Deep and Rufisque blocks. Partner FAR said the vessel would gather data in the north and east of the permits along trend from existing mapped prospects where there is no 3D seismic coverage. The survey will also help to delineate the SNE discovery. Cairn plans two appraisal wells and an exploration well, with drilling to start in early Q4.
