Drilling
Malampaya East discovery is estimated to hold 98 Bcf of gas and may help offset declines at the country’s only producing gas field.
For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, carbon-dioxide injection, and next-generation energy technologies.
The London-headquartered independent acquires position in the US Gulf while preparing Zama for final investment decision.
