Operations Update - Completion of 3D Seismic Acquisition

Borders & Southern (AIM: BOR), the London based independent oil and gas exploration company, provides an update on its activities in the South Falkland Basin.

The PGS vessel Ramform Challenger has completed the Company's 3D seismic programme in the South Falkland Basin offshore the Falkland Islands. It acquired 1,025 square kilometres of full fold seismic data. The data will now be processed by PGS and a fast track product will be available for interpretation in about three months. The final, depth processed data will take approximately nine months to be delivered but work will commence on well planning using the fast track data, with ultimate well locations to be selected using the final product.
