New frontier basin in deep waters. Recent Pecm disvocery;
Light oil producing basin (up to 39 API);
The region already has establised infrastructure and new investments are
already planned;
In the Munda Sub-basin 58% of the exploratory wells have at least hydrocarbon
shows;
The search for stratigraphic traps in deep water demands the implementation of
3D seismic surveys.
For the area on offer, in situ volumes are estimated at 4.9 billion barrels of oil.
