The East African Rift System is rightly attracting significant exploration interest because it is a very large accessible onshore basin system, and yet has only recently yielded large hydrocarbon discoveries. It remains highly underexplored with only two rifts partially explored so far, with many undrilled frontier basins highlighted by the Bouguer gravity data still to be investigated (Figure 8). Differentiating effective segments of the rift should benefit from relatively intense fieldwork and geochemical exploration methods, neither of which have been applied in much of the rift system to date. Effective prospect maturation can be achieved with potential field methods such as airborne Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry (FTG) supplemented with 2D seismic, without the need for expensive 3D seismic (see article on Heritage Oil in Tanzania, V11.5). The combination of appropriate technology and good quality geology has the scope to generate high quality, relatively low cost prospects; and the EARS can deliver play fairways attractive to both smaller and larger companies.
