Block XX: The Company continues to target having everything in place to get the Heron-1 well onstream as soon as the land issue is resolved by the government. Pumping, downhole completion and power generation equipment and power control systems are now all in country and ready to be mobilised and installed at Heron-1. Production tanks have been sourced from PetroChina. These second-hand tanks offer a cost-effective solution to achieve rapid production start-up and have passed non-destructive testing to confirm integrity and suitability. They will be relocated to the production site where installation fabrication and electrical work is planned once access to the production site is obtained. The Company and MRPAM discussed with PetroChina Daqing Tamsag, the operator of the Block XIX exploitation area and facilities located immediately north of Block XX, options to process, export and sell Heron crude during the initial phase of the Heron development.
