Seismic data acquisition is expected to be completed by May 5, the company said.
Last year, Rawson signed a farm-out agreement with Merlin Energy covering a portion of the EP 97 permit for the drilling of three wells and acquiring seismic data in the Simpson, Dune and Bejah blocks.
Under the agreement, Merlin would earn 80% of one of the three farm-in prospect blocks.
Rawson owns 100% of EP 97.
