The permit, located in the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf region of the Timor Sea (Petrel sub-basin), was awarded to MEO in June 2011 and since then the company has moved rapidly towards assessing the potential of the permit.
The 3D seismic survey will cover the Marina gas and liquids discovery, the nearby Breakwater prospect and two additional areas.
It will allow for more accurate mapping and resource estimation of the Marina discovery, as well as the scoping of a potential appraisal programme. It will also enable MEO to define the Breakwater prospect further and assist in selecting the optimal potential drilling location.
