Chariot Ltd., an energy group focused on Africa’s transitional resources, has announced the start of drilling activities at the Loukos Onshore license in Morocco. Operating with a 75% stake, Chariot partners with ONHYM, holding a 25% interest, and has commenced drilling at the Gaufrette prospect with the spudding of the RZK-1 well.
This drilling campaign marks a significant achievement for Chariot Limited, targeting the Gaufrette Main with Best Estimate recoverable prospective resources of 10 Bcf. The campaign also presents an opportunity to explore a deeper target identified through recently reprocessed 3D seismic data.

Wallace commended the team’s efforts in initiating drilling within ten months of license acquisition and acknowledged ONHYM for their support and collaboration. Further updates on the drilling results are eagerly awaited.
