South Africa: Impact extends Orange Basin holdings with TCP

Impact Oil and Gas has extended its Orange Basin presence with a technical co-operation permit (TCP) for the Orange Basin Deep Block off South Africa’s west coast, and has begun acquiring 3D seismic in the Namibian part of the basin.Orange Deep covers 15,474km2 in water depths from 2,700 metres. Impact said the block currently has a limited amount of data but lies along the outer edge of the Orange Basin and could contain deep-water fans similar to those identified in its Namibian Block 2913B to the north.
