Sierra Leone
NIGERIAN INDEPENDENT ORANTO IS continuing a 1,500-sq km Marine 3D seismic survey started offshore Sierra Leone on the West African coast. The essential block is SL-5 and is being executed for Oranto by the Chinese owned Bureau of Geophysics BGP vessel Pioneer SV. Oranto says that the shoot will likely extend over nearby SL-4, and the job may be coupled to a planned 1,500 – sq 3D shoot in Oranto’s LB-12 in neighbouring Liberia.
