Cinco prospect30 Jan 2016 21:38
carbonate prospect containing best estimate gross unrisked prospective resources of 1.4tcf and 48mmbbl of condensate. It is considered to be analogous to the 2.7tcf Shell-operated Malampaya producing gas/condensate field 400km to the north-east. Malampaya is the country’s flagship producing gas field and has been feeding three gas-fired power plants in the city of Batangas, 500km away on the main island of Luzon, since its start- up in 2001. The Cinco prospect will target the Nido carbonate reservoir as found in Malampaya and is assessed as having a similar seismic character. Cinco was identified from the 1,800km2 of 3D seismic acquired and funded by BHP Billiton as part of a farm-in option announced in January 2010. Cinco is believed to be more geologically complex than Hawkeye, leading to longer drilling times and higher drilling costs. Otto has assessed a 20% GCoS for the prospect.
 Eight leads after Cinco: following on from Cinco, the company has identified eight further gas/condensate carbonate leads and prospects in its portfolio, containing a further estimated 8.3tcf of gross unrisked prospective gas resources and 295mmbbl of condensate (or over 200mmboe each on average). A discovery at Cinco would help to de-risk these leads.
