Philippines: Nido Petroleum completes SC 54A and SC 54B 2D seismic surveys, offshore Philippines


Nido Petroleum, as Operator of Service Contract 54A (SC 54A) andService Contract 54B (SC 54B), has announced the successful completion of the combined SC 54A Lawaan/Libas and SC 54B Pawikan 2D seismic surveys on 10 December 2011. Nido’s partners in SC 54A are Yilgarn Petroleum Philippines(a wholly owned subsidiary ofKairiki Energy),Trafigura Ventures III and TG World (BVI) Corp, and inSC 54B,Yilgarn Petroleum Philippinesand Shell Philippines Exploration.

The two surveys were acquired over the period 29 November to 10 December 2011 using the MV 'Nordic Energy' operated by seismic contractor Nordic Maritime.

Key highlights:
  • SC 54A: 73 full-fold line kilometres of new 2D seismic was acquired over the greater Lawaan and Libas Prospects. The objective of the survey was to determine if the two prospects are connected structurally which would further upgrade the potential of the larger Lawaan Prospect, which is currently the leading drilling candidate in SC 54A. Prospective resource oil-in-place estimates for Lawaan and Libas are currently 34.7 million barrels and 12.0 million barrels respectively (gross, unrisked, mean volume).
  • SC 54B: 430 full-fold line kilometres of new 2D seismic data was acquired over the Pawikan Lead. The objective of the new seismic is to mature the Pawikan Lead to Prospect status by addressing remaining risks relating to reservoir and charge into the structure. The Pawikan Lead lies 30 km to the south of the non-commercial Gindara-1 gas and oil discovery well which was drilled by the SC 54B Joint Venture earlier this year and 10 kms south-west of the Service Contract 14 Nido A/B oilfields. Prospective Resource oil-in-place estimate for Pawikan is approx. 2 billion barrels (gross, unrisked mean volume).
Processing of the 2D seismic data will be undertaken in Perth by DownUnder GeoSolutions. Interpretation of the fully processed 2D seismic data sets is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2012.
