As part of the work program, 564.887 Km2 of 3D seismic data was acquired over the Sampaguita Gas Field and 2,202.38 Line-Km of 2D seismic data was also acquired over the block in order to further define additional leads identified within the SC72 acreage.

We are delighted to have completed our work programme so efficiently and ahead of our anticipated schedule. We have now met our contractual commitments with the Philippine Department of Energy under Service Contract 72 and look forward to making further investments into the project.
