TGS noted that the interim results would be made available to assist with evaluation of the early acreage.

The survey is the second phase of a multi-year contract, which was awarded initially by Malaysian firm Petronas in 2020. The contract was awarded to acquire and process up to 105,000km² of multi-client 3D data in the Sarawak Basin over a period of five years.

The latest survey builds on this project’s initial phase in the Sarawak North Luconia Province.
