Niger: Savannah drilling plans

London-based Savannah Petroleum has said that the focus of its initial three-well drilling campaign will be on the R3 contract area, which it says sits within a proven petroleum “sweet spot” in the Agadem Rift Basin, with some of the largest discoveries located in adjacent areas to the north and south, including producing fields operated by China National Petroleum Corporation. The R3 area is also close to existing and planned infrastructure in the basin.
