East Africa - Lynx GIS Adviser

Eritrea - Kenya - Madagascar - Mozambique - Oman
Seychelles - Somalia - Sudan - Tanzania - Yemen

This report has been developed using ESRI ArcGIS software and contains a variety of exploration themes for coastal and offshore areas of East Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and western Indian Ocean

1/9 - The East Africa GIS Adviser covers Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Oman, Seychelles,
Somaila, Sudan, Tanzania, Yemen, and a regional overview

2/9 - The Advisor consists of a 12 Volume Report (in PDF electronic form) which directly references spatial
data incorporated into the GIS framework. The Petroleum Report was authored by well-known exploration geologist
Dr Bill St John, and the figures from it have been spatially enabled by Lynx

3/9 - Wells, concessions and other exploration objects for each country build the industry framework.
All data layers are accompanied by attribute tables detailing data specific to each object

4/9 - The Surface Geology for the East Africa region is split into sections for each country.
Additional information on sedimentary fill, structural elements and isopach maps is available as
georectified images taken directly from the accompanying report

5/9 - Petroleum provinces (incorporating the structural framework) for East Africa are defined in detail
at a country level and on a regional scale

6/9 - Play mapping identifies the key exploration targets for development. Sediment thickness mapping
on a regional scale has been undertaken to collate and improve upon previous attempts, and provide a concise
basemap

7/9 - Ocean-floor age and tectonics are incorporated and described in the PDF report. The paleogeology
is described from the Late Carboniferous and illustrated by figures in the report

8/9 -The Source Rock Summary of the Western Indian Ocean is a new addition to the East Africa Advisor.
The report is based on the source rock analysis from core-holes and outcrops. This includes stratigraphy
for each country from Bill St. John

9/9 - A summary of the source rock samples from Eritrea in the north to Mozambique in the south,
detailing the key wells and outcrops per region that tested positive for liquid oil

Exploration themes included for each of the countries include: Wells, Fields, Concessions, Pipelines, Surface Geology, Gravity, Landsat, Drainage, Country outlines, Bathymetry and processed srtm (90m) elevation data. there are also additional themes for transport infrastructure (roads and railways), towns, villages and administrative areas.

The Adviser also includes a fully searchable 800-page digital report as PDF containing 12 volumes written by Bill St. John - an acknowledged expert on East African geology and exploration. The first volume covers plate tectonics and paleogeology of the region. Volumes 2-12 contain country specific information for all of the above listed countries and also areas of the Western Indian Ocean where carbonates occur over volcanics (British Indian Territory, Comoros, Laccadives Archipelago, Maldives, Mauritius, Mascarene Plateau and France-claimed islands). The country-specific volumes include sections on exploration history, tectonics, stratigraphy, reservoirs, source rocks, seals, traps, plays & prospects, and proven & potential reserves. Background information including terms and conditions for exploration is also given.

The report is well illustrated and contains a rich variety of maps, cross-sections, seismic sections, stratigraphic sections and well summaries. where appropriate maps from the report have been extracted and georectified, these are available as layers which can be inserted into the GIS. These map layers include concession history, seismic line indexes, tectonic framework, sediment thickness, leads, prospects etc.
