ERHC's Focus Area 2 proximity to Benoy-1 discovery

The maps below confirm King's assessment of the distance from Benoy-1 to the edge of ERHC's BDS-2008 Block.

This map shows where ERHC's Focus Area 2 is in relation to Benoy-1:


I have edited the map below, adding the scale twice to measure the distance from Benoy-1 to BDS-2008. It appears to be almost exactly 70 km (43 miles) between them, and probably about 125 km (78 miles) to the center of Focus Area 2:

This map has the advantage of showing the gravity readings, which provides for a better prospectivity assessment than with just going by proximity alone. I am still trying to figure out how to make sense of these things, but in comparison to Benoy-1, the arrows I have added in the map blowup below show areas that look similar:


This section definitely looks like a margin area, which jibes with the bold brown line showing the edge of the Doba Basin. Notice that this map shows much less of the basin located in BDS-2008 than does ERHC's map.

Based on this, I would expect ERHC to focus on the southern edge of BDS-2008. However, the gravity data shown in the map above is probably low resolution, and Bridgeporth's airborne gravity/magnetic survey will no doubt provide much greater resolution of the entire focus area, giving ERHC a better indication of prospective areas. - LT

P.S.: The ERHC slide below illustrates the greater detail that higher-resolution data can provide (compare map below with the one above in regard to Benoy-1).
