Kenya: Fugro to conduct seeps survey for Shell

Shell/BG Kenya has given Fugro a contract for a seabed seeps survey to detect natural leakages of hydrocarbons. Fugro said the seeps survey complemented a recent seismic exploration programme. The Fugro Discovery will arrive in Kenya this month and the survey will take about four weeks to acquire. A handful of wells drilled offshore Kenya in recent years have so far failed to find commercial hydrocarbons.
