Elections: Presidential each 5 years
Parliament each 5 years

18. After 43 years of independence, Senegal has today
CONCLUSIONS:
After 43 years of independence, Senegal has today
political stability,
good governance practice and
independent jurisdiction,
Which allow a stable social and economic development.
The Energy sector is a key element of this development.

19. ENERGY MARKET Total Imported Energy and Lubricant: Exportation:
2.8 MM tones
Exportation:
Mali
Gambia
Guinea Bissau
Consumption:
67% for Transportation - Retailing Companies: TotalFinaElf (55%), Shell (27%), Mobil (13%) Privates Senegalese(5%)
33% Power Generation: SENELEC main power company

20. ENERGY MARKET (2)
Total Liberalization of the Energy Sector:
Power Generation: Open to IPP
Refining: Open. Building a refinery of ,000 b/d is one of the NEPAD project.
Transportation, Distribution and Retailing: Open. Private Senegalese companies.

21. ENERGY CONCLUSIONS
Main Goal of the Government is to create an Energy environment that can sustain the economical and social development of the country:
well regulated market
competitive environment
attractive conditions for the investment and
Utilization of local energy sources

22. HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL OF THE SENEGAL BASIN

23. HISTORY OF THE EXPLORATION
1917: Oil shows in the Cap Vert Area
1952: Drilling of 4 wells around Dakar
1961: Discovery of the onshore Diam Niadio Field
1967: Discovery of the offshore Dome Flore Field
1977: Production of gas from Diam Niadio
1981: Creation of PETROSEN
1986: Evaluation of the Basin
1986 to Now: 4 gas discoveries (0.5 to 10 Bcf) in Diam Niadio-Thies Area.

24. REGIONAL SETTING Two main basins are identified in Senegal:
Meso-Cenozoic Basin, an passive margin basin, east of the Atlantic Ocean and
Paleozoic Basin, underneath the meso-cenozoic basin

29. THE MESO-CENOZOIC BASIN
THREE SUB-BASINS:
Nouakchot-Dakar sub-basin, with a trend of listric faults
Rufisque-Banjul Sub-basin, stable
Casamance-Bissau Sub-basin, with salt tectonics.
These sub-basins are separated by majors transfer faults.

30. TECTONIC OF NOUAKCHOT-DAKAR
Main Characteristics of the Sub-basin is a trend of listric faults from the north of Nouakchot to the south of the Cap Vert Peninsula.

31. NOUAKCHOT-DAKAR CROSS SECTION
East-West Cross Section through the Cayar Sea Mount:
Structural traps within the Cayar fault zone;
Turbidites / mass flow deposits beyong the carbonate bank

32. DIAM NIADIO: LEADS & PROSPECTS
GADIAGA FIELD
Diam Niadio and Gadiaga Fields are within the trend of the listric faults.

33. RUFISQUE-BANJUL SUB-BASIN
Oil shows at RF-3 ( 33°API ) in Senonian sands
Oil and Gas shows at RF-2 and DKM-2 in Aptian/Neocomian

34. CASAMANCE-BISSAU SUB-BASIN

35. PALEOZOIC BASIN (2)

36. PALEOZOIC BASIN (1)
The map shows a gentle dipping toward the west. The Paleozoic formations are in a drillable depth (4000 – 1500m) in a north – south belt of 100 km wide from Guinea to Mauritania.

37. HYDROCARBON OCCURENCES
Since 1968, three discoveries have been made in Senegal
Domes Flore & Gea
1billion of Heavy Oil in the Oligocen limestone
Diam Niadio Field
Many gas accumulations (0.5 to 10 BCF) in the Maastrichtian Sands
Gadiaga Field
Gas accumulations in the Campanian and Senonian Sands

38. DIAM NIADIO: PRODUCTION STATISTICS
Total Gas Production
7.6 BCF
Total Oil & Condensats Production
b of light oil 34°API
bbls de condensats

39. DOME FLORE AREA Heavy oil in the Oligocene limestones10 - 13° API
Light oil in the Maestrichtian sands 13b/hour of 33° API
Light oil in the Albian sandstones

40. CONCLUSION ON THE POTENTIAL
The Meso-Cenozoic basin presents good source rocks, reservoirs and seals through all the stratigraphic section.
Petroleum Systems do exist in the Senegal, in the Meso-Cenozoic Basin
The Paleozoic basin also has good source rocks (Silurian graptolite shales), good sand reservoirs (Ordovician and Devonian) and seals (interbedded shales).
Beside the discoveries of Diam Niadio, Gadiaga and Dome Flore, the Senegalese Basin is still underexplored. More seismic Data and more drilling are needed to assess the real potential of the Paleozoic and the Meso-Cenozoic basins. .
