Since 1980, Côte d’Ivoire has been progressively

emerging as a potential oil and gas producing

country. With the recents discoveries in the deep

offshore, the country is about to become a new

petroleum province.

This presentation highlights oil and gas exploration

opportunities in Côte d’Ivoire by focusing on some

key prospects in the deepwater blocks.

OVERVIEW OF THE SEDIMENTARY BASINOVERVIEW OF THE SEDIMENTARY BASINOVERVIEW OF THE SEDIMENTARY BASINOVERVIEW OF THE SEDIMENTARY BASIN

Located in the Gulf of Guinea, the

basin was created in the lower

cretaceous .

Two majors faults :

� St Paul fracture.

�Romanche fracture

Basin divided into two parts

Two sensors are better than one

� Higher signal-to-noise ratio

� Deeper tow means quieter environment

� Increased bandwidth – especially in the lows

� Better penetration (salt, basalt)

� Greater resolution (stratigraphic inversion)

� More accurate Q estimation

� Improved multiple attenuation

� Improved imaging

� 4D compatible

EXPLORATION OPPORTUNITIES IN CÔTE D’IVOIRE

� Excellent G & G database;

� Good Exploration Potentiel;

� More Inciting Oil Legislation (to be soon at disposal);

� Political Will to Welcome and Help Foreign Investors

Several projects await you in our beautiful

country. Please take this opportunity to take the

extra mile.
