“We were happy to report to the President that CGX is scheduled to drill under the Corentyne license in the second half of next year. The 3D seismic programme undertaken by CGX succeeded in delineating a highly promising drilling target and CGX has developed and is now actively advancing its drilling programme in Guyana’s Corentyne region aimed at multiple targets.”
Sully, in the statement, also expressed “CGX’s appreciation of the ongoing support of the President of Guyana and of its government and people”.
So far in its exploration and drilling plans for the Corentyne concession offshore Guyana, CGX Energy reported that it has data interpretation on the recently completed seismic programme identifying the drilling location and has customised the requirements of the selected drill location.
“The Strategic Environment Assessment is already in an advanced stage of finalisation with the appropriate Agencies in Guyana. CGX has undertaken preparations for developing the necessary onshore staging and storage facilities in support of the drilling programme.”
CGX also discussed its projections for exploration activities in its license concessions in Guyana beyond the Corentyne area.
Recently, the President said that he has made it clear to CGX that the company needed to move “beyond talk now to putting down a well.”
