Petronas Carigali discovers gas offshore Sabah Posted: 27 Jul 2011 10:38 PM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd, the exploration and production arm of Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), has made two significant gas discoveries in the shallow water areas offshore west coast of Sabah. In a statement today, Petronas said the first discovery was via the Zuhai East-1 well, which was located in the Samarang Asam Paya Block about 130km south-west of Kota Kinabalu. "The current estimate of gas-initially-in-place is about 550 billion standard cu ft," it said. Similar reservoirs in a nearby well about 5 km to the east of the Zuhai East discovery were tested to flow gas at a maximum rate of 21 million standard cu ft per day, it said. Petronas Carigali is the sole equity holder of the production-sharing contract (PSC) of the Samarang Asam Paya Block. It said the second discovery, at the Menggatal-1 well, was located in Block SB312, about 110km north-east of Kota Kinabalu. "The Block SB312 PSC is a joint-venture between Petronas Carigali with 60 per cent equity and KUFPEC Malaysia (SB 312) Ltd, a subsidiary of Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Co, which holds the remaining interest," it said. -- BERNAMA Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search.

Land mines buried in landslide-hit Seoul Posted: 27 Jul 2011 10:36 PM PDT SEOUL: About 10 land mines remain buried in a Seoul mountain pounded by recent rainstorms and the military is bracing for possible contingencies, the defense ministry said Thursday. At a press briefing, ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said the military has removed most of the mines buried near an air defense artillery unit on Mount Umyeon, but "about 10 mines" have not been recovered. Dozens of homes in southern Seoul were buried under mud swept from Mount Umyeon on Wednesday, killing at least 15, following the heaviest downpours to hammer the South Korean capital in a century. But Kim said the military had already cleared the area affected by the landslide. "Chances are low that mines will be spotted," he said. "But we're preparing for any situation that may arise from the area. We have not yet received any report that mines have been spotted." The mines were placed after the 1950-53 Korean War, and a military official explained that most were removed between 1999 and 2006. "We have placed warning signs across the mountain to warn residents and hikers," the official said. -- BERNAMA Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search.
