In early March 2018, industry sources indicated that the authorities may be offering former OK Energy-operated acreage for exploration rights (ER) off the south coast in the Outeniqua basin. In this area, OK operated the OK Energy 1 block over about 7,000 sq km in WD 0-300m. Should this be confirmed, the offer would entail blocks 3422 A, B + D. OK Energy relinquished the block around February 2019, the company otherwise retains acreage in the Algoas/Outeniqua Basin (ER 257) and in the Orange Basin.   In January 2016, OK Energy was awarded Exploration Rights for block OK Energy 1. It is located northeast of Block 9. Eight wells were drilled in the area, the last by Soekor (Pty) Ltd in 1986, all of which were plugged and abandoned as dry. OK Energy operated the block with a 100% interest.
