Key Positioning within Prolific South Atlantic Margins
Key points
- Continental Drift: Brazil and Namibia are on opposite margins of the South Atlantic resulting in common geological history and the potential to contain similar petroleum systems
- Over 60 Bbbls BOE of discoveries in South Atlantic Hydrocarbon Charge: “Fingerprinting” and “DNA” of condensate samples from Kudu indicate the presence of the same lacustrine source rock in addition to marine
- Same source rocks are present offshore Namibia as in Brazil with respect to depositional sequences, source rock type and oil fingerprinting
- Close proximity of oil, natural gas and condensate accumulations with oil seepage slicks indicating a working petroleum system
- Renewed West Africa interest : Jubilee discovery (& sale) in Ghana has renewed interest in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Togo, Benin, Angola and Namibia
