HOUSTON, Sept. 25 – Tullow Oil PLC started a 2,500 sq km 3D seismic shoot on the 35,200 sq km Guyane Maritime license off Guyana.
Existing seismic and well data indicate several large structural and stratigraphic prospects along the shelf edge and slope in 200-3,000 m of water that are similar in age and form to the oil discoveries made by Tullow Oil across the Atlantic off Ghana. Previous exploration has focused on shelf structural prospects.
Northern Petroleum PLC has a 50% interest in Northpet Investments Ltd., which has a 2.5% interest in the Guyane Maritime license.
