The newly identified prospect inventories, based on recently integrated 3-D seismic data, cover a gross upside P10 recoverable resource exposure of 26.37 MMBO and a P50 resource case of 11.78 MMBO.
Heavy Earth Resources chief executive officer Grant Draper said the drill-ready prospect inventory will support the company’s multi-well exploration programmes in 2013 and 2014.
"As part of the process of evaluating the resource prospects of the Morichito Block, we are pleased to have retained Petrotech Engineering to produce a resource report for the new prospects in the Morichito Block," said Draper.
"We believe that the numerous pay zones (four to seven) in each of the newly identified targets represent exploration opportunities to evaluate before determining our multi-well 2013 and 2014 exploration programs.
