On Thursday, the 7th February, 2019, Total issued a press release stating that the Brulpadda 1Ax well, situated to the south east of Mossel Bay,
175 km offshore, had intersected a total of 57m of reservoir interval in the Albian section of the southern Outeniqua Basin. They also announced the discovery of a large gas condensate resource.
This discovery is the culmination of many years of work. In 2001, Canadian Natural Resources (CNR), who had just acquired the block through the buy-out of Ranger Oil, acquired 3700 line km of 2D data in the block. read more...

Restriction Notice

 gazette Page 1a

 

 

 

 

 

The Minister of Mineral Resources has published a notice in terms of section 49(1) of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (Act No.28 of 2002) (MPRDA) restricting the granting of new applications for Technical co-operation Permits, Exploration and Production Rights pending the publication of a notice of invitation for applications.
It is significant to note that the restriction does not affect the exclusive rights conferred by the MPRDA on holders of Technical Co-operation Permits and Exploration Rights to apply for Exploration Rights or Production Rights respectively, as the case may be, and applications that were lodged prior to the publication notice. The restriction by the Minister is part of a licensing strategy that is primarily aimed at using licensing as a tool to achieve the transformation ideal encapsulated in section 2(d) of the MPRDA and  fast-track exploration. To that end, Petroleum Agency is currently working on the modalities and processes that will inform the invitation for application dispensation as approved by the Minister of Mineral Resources.
Kind Regards,
Ms Lindiwe Mekwe | Acting Chief Executive Officer|

Launch of our new GIS Web Portal in JavaScript

We are delighted to officially announce the launch of our new GIS Web Portal. This is an interactive web map interface that enables users to browse and order exploration information that is available in their area of interest. The GIS Web Portal was re-written in Java Script to accommodate Chrome users, since Silverlight is no longer certified on Chrome.
We are sure it contains valuable exploration information to assist you with your oil and gas exploration needs in South Africa
