The Petroleum Agency of South Africa's Shale Gas Research Project has identified active hydrocarbon seepage and liquids-bearing petroleum systems in the Karoo Basin, providing new data to prioritise future exploration and establish a geo-environmental baseline for regulatory clarity.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Oil & Gas.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can target exploration in the Karoo with clearer data and regulatory trust after the baseline for natural hydrocarbons was set. Your permit process will now involve less guesswork over natural environmental impacts.
