EIA PROCESS TRACKER

Gas Exploration by Zarara

The project sought to carry out a hydrocarbon exploration drilling programme on Blocks L4 and L13 in Lamu County, with specific focus on Pate Island. The project proponent is the Zarara Oil and Gas Limited (Zarara), a wholly owned subsidiary of Midway Resource International. The project sought to further explore and appraise the gas discoveries made by Shell in the 1970s, which encountered high-pressure gas, but in an unknown quantity and quality as the well did not fully penetrate the reservoir section and was neither logged nor tested due to technical problems whilst
drilling.
