UK-based firm Ophir Energy Plc announced Thursday it has completed 3D seismic survey this month in two blocks namely, West Papua IV, offshore Papua; and Aru, offshore Maluku.
?As we process and interpret the new data we expect both areas to contribute further drilling candidates for 2017/18,? the company said in a statement.
As has been previously reported by this portal, the seismic survey started last month.
Ophir has a 49.9 percent operating interest in the West Papua IV Block and a 60 percent operating interest in the Aru Block covering a gross area of 5,701 km2.
The West Papua IV and Aru Blocks were acquired from Niko Resources Limited in 2015.
