Seems there may already be excellent satellite iformation in our Block

data collection :

Seismic surveying:
Additional seismic shot lines (2D) with greater density
than those lines shot by Shell Company in 1992 (eg
TVK4 and TVK5). Note: The Bolen Company, which
is currently exploring for oil in Lotikipi and around
Lokichogio, may be planning or implementing


Raw data collection Page 18

The overall methodology for the study began with the
collection of reliable data inputs. These “raw materials”
include unprocessed satellite imagery, secondary maps
and data, primary field data and datasets from RTI’s own
proprietary database.

RTI has acquired multi-seasonal, multi-sensor untreated
radar, optic and topographic imagery of satellites from a
number of international civilian space programmes. In
addition to remote sensing data, a significant number of
hydrogeological data has been collected, mainly from
academia, the Government of Kenya, UN agencies and
non-governmental organizations. RTI has also procured
un-interpreted seismic data and exploration reports from
the oil industry and the National Oil Corporation of Kenya
(NOCK). UNESCO procured primary vertical electrical
sounding (VES) resistivity data in targeted locations.
Other data was collected as a means to test the validity of
the findings of the survey (discussed in “Testing and
validation” section below).

In addition to the above, RTI and UNESCO collected
valuable primary data directly from the field, including
hydrology, hydrogeology, geology, stratigraphy, pedology
and land use.
