Chariot Oil & Gas Limited (AIM: CHAR), the Africa focused oil and gas exploration company, is pleased to announce that it has completed its 3500km2 3D seismic acquisition programme in Block C19 offshore Mauritania. The survey was contracted to and carried out by Fugro-Geoteam AS and targeted an area in the South Western section of the block.  Once the data has been processed, it will be interpreted in-house with the aim of identifying prospects for drilling.

"The data collected from the survey fulfills Chariot's initial three year work commitment within the block and the interpretation will commence later this year. The results will inform our forward programme as we continue to seek material opportunities in emerging hydrocarbon provinces."
