Tullow Oil has added to its Walvis Basin acreage, taking up to 40% in Block 2012A from Eco Atlantic Oil & Gas. The block lies immediately to the north of Block 2012B, where Tullow farmed in in September 2013 and acquired 1,000km of 2D and 3,000km2 of 3D seismic earlier this year. Initial data mapping has identified four main prospects, inclusing Albatross, a Cretaceous turbidite fan structure, the same play that proved succesful offshore Ghana. Tullow also operates the Kudu gas field offshore southern Namibia, where a gas-to-power development is planned.
