Location of OPIC's (CPC's) Benoy-1 oil well (and possibly ERHC's block)

The Benoy-1 discovery is indeed in Bloc Chari Ouest III (as CPC calls it), a.k.a, Chari-Ouest Block 3. Here is a map from CPC that clearly shows its location:

Notice the crosshatching around the well denoting the seismic studies done in the southern half of the block. (More on this below.)

Here is a 2X blowup of the same map with labels I have added for OPIC's three block leases:


Correlating this with the Chad Ministere du Petrole oil block map, it is evident that we have clearly identified OPIC's three block leases:


This is a followup to this post, which explains why this information is important and how it may relate to ERHC.

With CPC's seismic done in the southern half, my bet is that ERHC has obtained the northern half of Chari-Ouest Block 3, right next to CPC's recent discovery. I wonder what the chances are that CPC would farm back into the block under ERHC's concession? They seem very excited about Benoy-1.

I'll post some more exciting information about Benoy-1 later, when I have more time. - Longtimer
