Serica negotiating Asahan offshore PSC development with Indonesian authorities
Offshore staff
(Jakarta) UK independent Serica plans to submit a development plan this month to the Indonesian authorities for the Tanjung Perling field in the Asahan Offshore production-sharing contract area. This follows a seismic acquisition program last year which suggested that the field, in the south of the block, was commercial. Further exploratory drilling is planned for 2007.
Serica is also close to securing a jack-up for a three-well exploration campaign in the Billiton block, which could start this December. In the UK North Sea, the company looks set to drill its first well on block 23/16f this fall.
