Â   Senegal Offshore Sud Profond (SOSP)  Cairn Energyâs discoveries in 2014 have proven hydrocarbon resources in the shelf edge play and the slope channel/fan play. This has de-risked prospects in the Senegal Offshore Sud Profond which is located around 90 km south of the discoveries, along the same shelf edge. The block covers 7,920 sq km  Arbitration proceedings are currently under way on the SOSP block between former operator African Petroleum and the Senegal authorities.  Senegal Offshore Sud   In mid-2014, former operator Elenilto planned to acquire a 1,400 sq km 3D seismic survey over the Senegal Offshore Sud permit. The survey was to cover shallow-water salt dome leads and deep-water shelf edge prospects. The block covers 6,774 sq km to the east of the Senegal Offshore Sud Profond permit. An oil resource assessment (based on 2D seismic and wells) estimates a STOIIP exceeding 1.5 Bbo potential for the permit. Of the eights wells included in the perimeter, none has resulted in a discovery.
