located furthest offshore (290 km at its closest point) in water depths of 3 300 m to 3 800 m. Block 2913B is

immediately to the east (240 km offshore at its closest point) in water depths ranging from approximately

2 600 m to 3 300 m.

The proposed 3D seismic survey and operational areas are 6 474 km2 and 9 797 km2 in extent, respectively,

mostly over Block 2912. It is anticipated that the duration of the proposed survey would be in the order of 100

Hierdie brief verskaf kennisgewing, ooreenkomstig die Wet op Omgewingsbestuur, 2007 (No. 7 van 2007) en Artikel

TEPNA hou Eksplorasielisensies vir Blokke 2912 en 2913B. Om subsee geologiese formasies te ondersoek en om

en operasionele areas het ‘n omvang van, respektiewelik, 6 474 km2 en 9 797 km2. Die voorgestelde opname sal

na verwagting ongeveer 100 dae duur, uitsluitende enige opname-verwante vertragings. TEPNA stel voor om in

Desember 2020 / Januarie 2021 met die 3D seismiese opname te begin, onderhewig aan die uitreik van ‘n

Omgewingsklaringsertifikaat.

SLR Environmental Consulting (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd (“SLR”) is aangestel om die OIS proses vir die voorgestelde projek
