ERHC Energy Inc. announced the start of a 2D seismic program covering at least 1,000 line kilometers on Block 11A in the Republic of Kenya. BGP Kenya Limited is carrying out the seismic acquisition. Block 11A is located to the northwest of the Lokichar Basin where the significant Ekales-1, Agete-1, Etuka-1, Ngamia-1 and Twiga South-1 oil discoveries were made.

ERHC holds a 35% interest in the Block after farming out a 55% stake to CEPSA (Compañía Española de Petróleos, S.A.U.), which is now the operator. The 2D seismic program was designed to cover areas of interest resulting from structural mapping of prospective basins enabled by the airborne Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry (FTG) survey of Block 11A completed recently. The FTG survey confirmed that the Lotikipi basin extends into Block 11A significantly advanced the exploration team's understanding of the internal structure of the Lotikipi rift basin and enabled the identification of the most prospective areas.
