Ophir Energy Operations in Kenya

Ophir Energy is primarily focused on Africa and has an operating office in Nairobi. Ophir Energy has holdings in two Blocks of Kenya's offshore Lamu Basin, Blocks L9 and L15, in which it has a 90 percent operating interest. Ophir obtained 3D seismic data for both blocks in 2012, but as yet no drilling has taken place. A first exploration well is due to be drilled in Block L9 in 2014, as part of a joint venture with FAR and Avana Petroleum. The seismic data has shown many promising leads, with a potential resource volume of more than 300 million barrels of oil.
