Deepwater Liberia: Persistence, patience, and breaking paradigms in West Africa’s final frontier
James Deckelman, CEO, BluEnergies
The Harper basin, offshore Liberia, is the last remaining undrilled South Atlantic margin basin containing the prolific deepwater fan/channel play.
BluEnergies Ltd. (TSX:V BLU), a Canadian Independent, has identified 3 to 5 billion boe of recoverable prospective resource potential in its deepwater Harper basin Blocks LB-26, LB-30, and LB-31. A Harper basin discovery of even 1 bbo would rank among offshore Africa’s top 5% (by volume) in the past decade.
These Blocks provide BluEnergies a low-cost, short-cycle-time option on a material, high-value, repeatable growth vehicle and a transformational opportunity for the country of Liberia.
