Abstract
The Partnership led by Forest Oil as operators in offshore blocks 1, 2a, and 2c (Fig. 1) in the area of the Orange River Basin finished a drilling campaign in 2001 having drilled 4 exploration wells resulting in the discovery of what has been designated as the Ibhubesi Field. By various estimates the field reserves are just less than 1 Tcf of gas, and occur in 3 different seismic anomalies that form separate stratigraphic traps (Figs. 2a and 2b).
