3D Seismic Exploration Project
By Yusrin Junaidi

Tutong - A US$16 million 3D seismic exploration project is scheduled to commence on Block L in Tutong. The huge project is being undertaken by Loon Brunei Limited, QAF Brunei Sdn Bhd and Nations Petroleum in stages, after the companies were given the nod to explore BlockL which covers 2,253 sq km by the Government of His Majesty through Petroleum Brunei.

Loon Energy Inc announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Loon Brunei Limited, and Nations Petroleum Brunei Limited have been awarded the contract for the acquisition of a planned 350 square kilometre 3D seismic survey on the onshore block.

Four bids were initially received and the contract was awarded to El Nusa Geosains and Zainal al Daud. The whole 3D seismic work is expected to commence in the first quarter of this year.

During a briefing for the Tutong District residents in November last year, it was revealed that the 3D Seismic exploration will be carried out in an area of 350 sq km (involving all the eight mukims in the district) and this is considered bigger than what Shell has done in the past. The duration of the project will be between six and eight months. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
