The peace of the camp — a minor haven for birdlife, stray dogs and the odd giraffe all keen to find water in this arid landscape where cattle farming dominates — belies the potentially huge significance, to both Tlou and Botswana, of events under way at two well sites about 30 minutes away along more rutted and sandy tracks.
Resource The raison d’etre of this camp, which supports a crew of 25 to 30, is to find out if Tlou — which means elephant in the local Tswana language — has enough coalbed methane resource to declare a commercial project in its two wholly-owned Karoo Central licences and begin putting in place plans to exploit this gas.
