The Vic/P41 exploration permit is located 40km from the coast in water depths ranging 80-250m.
The 540km2 permit area includes the Kipling and Benchley prospects and Lead A, all of which are on trend with and analogous to the Kipper field, which lies 20km to the west.
The primary term work programme commitment is to gather 3D seismic data over the Lead A area of the permit and carry out simultaneous seismic inversion of that data.
