Petro Matad unit wins 2 new PSCs from Mongolian Petroleum Authority
Mongolia-focused oil explorer Petro Matad Ltd (AIM: MATD) said its unit Central Asian Petroleum Corp Ltd (CapCorp) has been awarded two new production sharing contracts (PSCs) by the Petroleum Authority of Mongolia (PAM).
Capcorp together with Mongolian company Petro Matad LLC joined the Petro Matad group in 2007 prior to the latter’s admission to AIM.
The PSCs are for two petroleum blocks in the southern, central part of Mongolia, approximately 500 kilometres south west of the capital Ulaanbaatar. The petroleum blocks Bogd Block IV and Ongi Block V adjoin each other and jointly cover an area of approximately 71,000 square kilometres.
Petro Matad CEO Douglas McGay said: “We now have a portfolio of projects at different stages of development, ranging from the advanced exploration results and drilling plans for the Davsan Tolgoi Prospect; through to the advanced exploration on other leads and prospects nearby on Block XX; onto the identified but largely unexplored grabens on Block XX and now the promising new blocks in the centre of Mongolia.”
“Whilst management's main focus will be on drilling activities in Block XX we will be undertaking a work programme on Blocks IV and V in the next two years that will consist of a review of information followed by seismic acquisition and interpretation,” he added.
