ProposalDescription: 

Eni South Africa BV (Eni), and Sasol Africa Limited (Sasol) hold an Exploration Right 12/3/236 (ER 236) off the East Coast of South Africa. Eni and Sasol are considering the possibility of conducting an exploration drilling programme in Block ER 236 to assess the commercial viability of the hydrocarbon reservoir for future development.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Eni is considering drilling up to six deep water wells within Block ER236, four wells within a northern 1,840 km2 area of interest, in water depths ranging between 1,500 m and 2,100 m and two wells within a southern 2905 km2 area of interest (Figure 1.1), in water depth ranging between 2,600 m and 3,000 m. The specific number of wells and their locations would be based on a number of factors, including further analysis of seismic data, the geological target (the hydrocarbon bearing geology into which the well is to be drilled), and the presence of any seafloor obstacles. In addition, the success (if valuable hydrocarbon is discovered) of the first well in each area will determine whether or not subsequent wells are drilled.The Project requires Environmental Authorisation (EA) from the National Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) under the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) (Act No. 107 of 1998), as amended, through an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process.
