Angkor continues 2-D seismic work on Block VIII

ANK · Price
Executive Summary
- Angkor Resources’ subsidiary EnerCam is actively conducting a 2‑D seismic survey (EnviroVibe) over Block VIII in Cambodia, targeting the first onshore oil and gas discovery.
- The program has deployed 53 personnel, completed ~350 line‑km across four sub‑basins, and is averaging about nine kilometres of data acquisition per day with completion expected by late September 2026.
- Early results are promising; surface oil seeps and water wells contaminated by oil have been identified, supporting the prospectivity of the area.
Key Details
- Survey Scope: 350 line‑kilometres of 2‑D seismic covering four sub‑basins on the west side of Block VIII and the “mussel basin” in the northeast.
- Personnel & Methodology: 53 staff lay geophones every 4 m, install data recorders every 25 m, and fire EnviroVibe units every 50 m; geophones/recorders are kept ~24 h ahead of acquisition to maintain efficiency.
- Acquisition Rate: Target average of ~9 km per day; short lines may take longer due to terrain or weather conditions.
- Timeline: Field work expected to finish between mid‑September and end‑September 2026; interpretation phase budgeted for 5–6 weeks thereafter.
- Early Indicators: Multiple surface oil seeps documented; several abandoned water wells have become contaminated by oil, suggesting hydrocarbon presence.
- Management Comments:
- Mike Weeks (President, EnerCam) – “Seismic on Block VIII defines drill targets… essential to prove commercial oil and gas for Cambodia.”
- Keith Edwards (Technical Manager, EnerCam) – “Initial data looks promising; despite rain we can sweep an area and receive good quality data.”
- Strategic Goal: Use seismic results to define drilling targets and ultimately drill the first wells in Block VIII, aiming to reduce Cambodia’s reliance on imported hydrocarbons.

“Discovering oil and gas changes a nation because it gives a country independence, recurring revenue and its own source of national energy.” – Mike Weeks, President, EnerCam
Materiality Assessment: Non‑Material – Positive (operational progress with potential future impact but no immediate financial or earnings effect).
