Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas has acquired two previously shot 2D seismic surveys totaling 2922 line km on its Sharon Block 2213 A&B in the Walvis Basin, offshore Namibia.

Eco Atlantic is also the operator of its Cooper Block, where, in partnership with Tullow Kudu, it is currently running a 1097sq km 3D program with PGS Geophysical, as announced 16 October 2014.

Colin Kinley, COO Eco Atlantic, said: “The Cooper 3D program is progressing well and we hope to complete with 1097sq km program by mid-November. This newly acquired 2D program on Sharon was shot previously and the data quality looks good from our review of the lines.

"We are advancing our interpretation and knowledge of the basin as a result of previous wells drilled in the region and the availability of good quality information. By season’s end this year, we also hope to shoot an additional 1000 Km of new 2D data on our Guy Block. With our knowledgeable partners, we are advancing our understanding of this play.  We have steadily progressed with our exploration and interpretation and continue to build confidence in defining the potential of our licenses in this prospective oil play, which should assist in attracting additional partners.”
