3D Seismic Programme Commenced, Brazil
Chariot Oil & Gas Limited (AIM: CHAR), the Atlantic margins focused oil and gas exploration company, today announces that it has commenced a 3D seismic acquisition survey of approximately 785 km2 covering its 100% operated BAR-M-292, BAR-M-293, BAR-M-313 and BAR-M-314 licences in the Barreirinhas basin, offshore Brazil. This survey is being conducted by Polarcus. 
Further to the approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment in October 2015, Chariot is now able to carry out its 3D seismic programme which will fulfil all commitments on the licences. Following the analysis of legacy 2D seismic data over these blocks the Company has identified a number of leads that will be targeted by the 3D survey to mature this prospectivity. The survey is anticipated to take approximately 30 days to complete.
