“TPDC already has a wealth of data on the Songo Songo West Block and will work closely with the Minjingu to ensure success in this project”, said Dr. Mataragio.<\/p>\n

Dr. Mataragio also added that the agreement gives responsibility for both sides to work together within a period of one year to evaluate the possibility of sediment holding gas or oil on Songo Songo West block.<\/p>\n

“If there will be a positive result then the other steps of the survey, including drilling will follow” added Dr. Mataragio.<\/p>\n

In turn, Minjigu Director Hans Pardeep said local companies have been thrilled to be trusted by the government and will work with the highest order of professionalism while collaborating with TPDC to ensure they see success in the partnership.<\/p>\n
