MEPI?s Corporate Secretary Imron Gazali told Petromindo.com on Monday that the 2D seismic acquisitions are being carried out in four districts, namely Musi Rawas, Musi Banyuasin, Muara Enim and Lahat, with a total length of 547,2 km.

Imron said the survey coverage areas are divided into four, namely Noga, Rambutan, Wahalo, and Lakitan.

Meanwhile, the 3D land seismic acquisitions are being carried out in the district of Musi Rawas, covering110 sq km.
