Data position2D + 3D interpreted

The existing 2D and 3D data allow CAP to work at prospect level rather than at regional-screening level.

Host countriesSenegal & Guinea-Bissau
Senegal

CAP operates Djiffere with Petrosen as the national oil company. Senegal has an established offshore sector and a service base that can support exploration activity.

Guinea-Bissau

CAP operates Blocks 1 and 5B with Petroguin as the national oil company. The two licences cover both shallow-water shelf and deepwater slope settings.

Operating approach

CAP’s stated commitments cover health, safety, environment and security, alongside anti-bribery and corruption policies.
