Angkor unit completes 2-D seismic program on Block VIII

Executive Summary

• EnerCam Resources Co. Ltd., Angkor’s Cambodian energy subsidiary, completed a 350‑km 2‑D onshore seismic program on Block VIII (including the Mussel Basin) – the first such survey in Cambodia since 2013.
• The survey was executed over 47 days by a 53‑person crew using low‑impact EnviroSeis equipment, covering four provinces and generating high‑density data for future target definition.
• Preliminary processing of nine lines already reveals broad structural features and bright‑spot anomalies; full interpretation will continue over the coming months to guide drill‑target selection.

Key Details

• Program Scope: 350 line‑kilometres of 2‑D seismic across Block VIII (Sihanoukville, Kampong Speu, Koh Kong, Kampot), including newly added Mussel Basin area.
• Duration & Schedule: 47 days of field work; crews operated from 5 a.m. daily, 12‑hour shifts, seven days a week.
• Personnel: 53 total participants – 13 Thai contractors and 40 Cambodian staff (including 12 trainees from the Institute of Technology).
• Equipment & Methodology: Utilized EnviroSeis low‑impact seismic equipment; three rotational activities per line (placement of geophones/recorders, sweeping with vibration units, retrieval for redeployment).
• Data Processing Status: Preliminary “brute stack” processing completed on 9 of the 24 lines, showing a broad closed structure, parallel beds, complex stratigraphy, and amplitude bright spots. Full processing to be delivered line‑by‑line over several months by multiple parties.
• Interpretation Outlook: Initial assessments will be performed as data become available; a secondary assessment aims to define drill targets. The survey’s “extra” coverage (live receivers on parallel lines) provides quasi‑3‑D imaging (“poor man’s 3‑D”).
• Strategic Significance: First comprehensive onshore seismic effort in Cambodia since 2013, providing the baseline dataset needed for future oil & gas exploration and potential drilling programs within Block VIII.

Notable Quotes

“We are so impressed with the quality of work from our local staff, who worked through some less than optimal weather conditions to help facilitate acquiring this valuable data.” – Mike Weeks, President, EnerCam Resources

“We have seen the preliminary processing (brute stack) for nine of the 24 lines and can already see a broad, closed structure with some parallel beds and some more complex stratigraphy with amplitude bright spots… This gives us additional coverage in key areas that we hope will allow us to see the complex reflectors in map view as a ‘poor man’s 3‑D.’” – Keith Edwards, Technical Manager, EnerCam Resources
