Earthmoves has completed an evaluation of the 2020 Senegal Licence Round, which is the latest update to their Central Atlantic Digital Atlas. This multi-client study summarises the geology and hydrocarbon potential of the MSGBC basin and the 12 Senegal blocks on offer are described and ranked.

Ian Davison, Managing Director of Earthmoves said:

'In recent years the NW Africa Atlantic margin has become an exploration hot spot.  The recently announced Senegal Licence round offers 4 coastal blocks and 8 large deepwater blocks which at first glance seem not that attractive due to the deepwater and thin sediment cover.  But high geothermal gradients are predicted due to the Cape Verde hotpsot which may mature the source rock. The constant gentle slope of the margin will also allow turbidite sandstones to extend out into the deepest blocks with potential reservoirs deposited just above the source interval.’
