Deepwater Frontier Oil Exploration
In negotiation with the Union of the Comoros for exclusive deepwater exploration rights to Blocks 36, 39 and 40 in the Comoros Basin — a structurally proven frontier on the East African margin.

A Frontier Play
In a Proven Corridor
Colossal Energy holds exclusive deepwater rights in the Comoros Basin — on the structural extension of the Rovuma discoveries that have established the East African margin as a world-class petroleum province.
Exclusive rights to Blocks 36, 39 and 40 in the Comoros Basin — on the down-dip oil legs of the Rovuma discoveries.
A staged exploration approach — from controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) 3D acquisition to appraisal — that de-risks each capital commitment before the next.

Our Approach
To Frontier Exploration
Four principles ground the program: the geology, the contract, the capital structure, and the controls institutional partners expect.
About Colossal EnergyEvery decision is grounded in geology and geophysics: well data, seismic, velocity, rock physics, geochemistry, magnetics, gravity and basin modelling. The Comoros lies adjacent to a proven hydrocarbon fairway and shares common play elements with the successful Mozambique gas fields.
Capital is staged to evidence, not to schedule. No commitment moves forward without the proof from the prior stage.
A Production Sharing Contract with the Union of the Comoros grants exclusive exploration rights to blocks 36, 39 and 40, under stable fiscal terms.
Transparency, internal controls and reporting standards built for institutional capital.
Advancing a
Frontier Basin
Four lines of evidence underpin the programme: the acreage, the survey, the regional analog, and the contractual framework.
The Geologic Setting
01
Blocks 36, 39 and 40
Colossal Energy’s exclusive acreage in the Comoros Basin, on thin oceanic crust — an oil play down-dip from the proven gas of the Rovuma system.
02
Seismic and Magnetic Program
North-south oceanic transforms and east-west magnetic striping define the structural framework — mapped through an integrated seismic and potential-fields dataset.
03
Proven East African Analog
The basin sits on the structural extension of the Rovuma Basin in Tanzania and Mozambique, where more than 200 Tcf of gas has been confirmed.
How private capital is financing the deepwater oil frontier.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Answers to common questions about the opportunity, the basin, and the terms of investment.
Colossal Energy holds exclusive deepwater exploration rights to Blocks 36, 39 and 40 in the Comoros Basin, under a Production Sharing Contract with the Union of the Comoros.
The basin sits on the downdip extension of the Rovuma Basin, where more than 200 Tcf of gas has been confirmed. Seismic and magnetic data define the structural framework.
The programme is phased — moving from seismic acquisition and interpretation through to appraisal — so that capital is committed incrementally as technical evidence accumulates.
Colossal Energy is led by a management team with a demonstrated track record monetizing successful drilling results in oil & gas exploration, including the $1.35 billion.
