In a statement InterOil said, “This activity follows the drilling on the Moose-1 exploration well and the Moose-2 appraisal well where oil shows were found in the limestone section of both wells. The seismic and gravity acquisition program will extend across the Moose and Elk structures and link to existing seismic data on the Puri structure where the Puri-1 well flowed 1,610 bopd.”
“The data obtained will be used to provide a better understanding of the geological sequence of the Eastern Papuan Basin as well as providing information on depths and optimal locations for future Moose and Elk drilling,” it added.
