ProposalDescription: 

Proposed Exploration Well Drilling within Two Target Areas within Exploration Right 294.Target Area 1 is located south of Petrus Steyn and Target Area 2 lies south of the R34 between Kroonstad and Edenville, Free State Province.

Expanded_Motivation: 

In 2019, the (now) Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE), through the Petroleum Agency of South African (PASA), granted Rhino Oil and Gas Exploration South Africa (ROGESA) an Exploration Right (ER) to explore for petroleum resources in an area in the Free State Province of South Africa (reference 12/3/294 (ER 294)). The ER, which was informed by an Environmental Authorisation (EA), permitted ROGESA to undertake an exploration work programme involving desktop studies and an aerial gradiometry gravity survey. ROGESA undertook the studies and survey and is now proposing to drill exploration wells within two Target Areas located in the ER. Target Area 1 is located south of Petrus Steyn and Target Area 2 lies south of the R34 between Kroonstad and Edenville. The specific well locations have been proposed by ROGESA based analysis of geological data and will confirmed based on landowner engagement and environmental investigations (the latter will form part of this EIA).
