<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSignificant prospectivity has been identified by the high quality 6,593 km2 3D seismic dataset that was fully funded by Woodside. Subsequent interpretation and evaluation has returned an inventory of intra-Saturn leads and prospects which are estimated to be consistent in size and scale to the discoveries made to date in the Orange Basin. Pancontinental, together with the Joint Venture partners, is continuing to mature and refine a growing inventory on PEL 87.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe look forward to deploying our portfolio of relationships with operators including the supermajors to bring forward the potential of PEL 87.\u201d said Knowledge Katti, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Custos and a director of Sintana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe extensive dataset arising from the seismic acquisition campaign funded by Woodside, together with the continuing work to define and refine a significant inventory of leads and prospects, position the PEL 87 partners to expedite farm-in discussions.\u201d added Robert Bose, CEO of Sintana. \u201cPEL 87 is an integral part of our Orange Basin portfolio.\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pancontinental maintains a 75% interest in PEL 87. Additionally, Custos Investments (Pty) Ltd. maintains a 15% interest and the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR) maintains a 10% interest. Sintana has a 49% indirect interest in Custos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
