Oyster Oil Prepares for Djibouti Seismic Campaign
Vancouver, British Columbia – January 9, 2018 – Oyster Oil and Gas Ltd. ("Oyster"
or the "Company") (OY: TSXV, 13L: FSE) is preparing for an onshore seismic
campaign in Djibouti. Invitations to tender have been issued and an independent
environmental impact assessment report has been commissioned.
Oyster Oil has identified a large unexplored sedimentary basin located in Blo ck 1,
onshore Djibouti. The basin is located close to the coast and is also quite near to the
capital Djibouti City, and thus to the excellent infrastructur al capacity of the port, road ,
rail and air networks of Djibouti , one of East Africa’s major intern ational transportation
hubs.
Oyster Oil holds 100% equity in both onshore and offshore blocks in Djibouti. Oyster Oil
will also be seeking to acquire an offshore 2D seismic survey subject to identifying with
a suitably qualified contractor.
Dr. Phil Roach , Oyster's Head of Exploration commented: “ We are tendering for a 2D
seismic survey of up to approximately 200 line kilometres over the mapped Mesozoic
sedimentary basin (Jurassic and Cretaceous) in Block 1 . Oyster Oil has conducted
extensive field studies and various surveys over the last few years and believes that
Djibouti has the potential to mirror the highly prolific hydrocarbon reserves/production
potential that exists across the narrow Red Sea/Gulf of Aden Rift in Yemen.”
