PANGILINAN-LED PXP Energy Corp. said its subsidiary and consortium partners have secured a new petroleum service contract from the government for an offshore area in northwest Palawan, covering a previously expired block.

In a regulatory filing on Tuesday, PXP said the Department of Energy (DoE) has transmitted to the operator, Nido Petroleum Philippines Pty. Ltd., a copy of the new Service Contract (SC) No. 91.

SC 91 covers an offshore area of about 103,034 hectares in the Northwest Palawan Basin and replaces the former SC 6B, which expired on Feb. 28, 2024. The contract includes the Cadlao Oil Field.

The Cadlao field produced about 11.2 million barrels of oil between 1981 and 1991.

PXP said earlier seismic studies indicated that previous wells may have missed a significant volume of oil located higher in the reservoir structure, referred to as “attic oil,” which is now seen as a key target for redevelopment.

The new contract was executed between the government and a consortium composed of PXP’s indirect subsidiary, Forum Energy Philippines Corp. (FEPCO); Nido Petroleum; The Philodrill Corp.; Oriental Petroleum and Minerals Corp.; and Alcorn Petroleum and Minerals Corp.

FEPCO is a wholly owned unit of Forum Energy Ltd., in which PXP has an effective interest of 98.08%.

Nido Petroleum took over as operator of the block in 2022 and had planned to drill the Cadlao-4 well and conduct an extended well test. However, the spud date has been moved to 2025 due to a tight rig market.

Safety concerns over using a drillship in water depths of about 93.7 meters have prompted the operator to consider using a jack-up rig for drilling and testing. Nido is currently reviewing the contract for this option, according to its annual report.

In early 2024, the consortium submitted a letter of intent to the DoE to apply for a development and production petroleum service contract, a new contract type for expiring blocks with ongoing production. The application also covers additional open areas totaling about 1.03 million square kilometers.

Separately, PXP and its partners earlier secured a new contract to continue producing oil from the Galoc Oil Field, also located in northwest Palawan.

The Galoc field has produced more than 25 million barrels of oil since October 2008 and remains commercially viable despite natural production decline, with operations expected to continue beyond the contract term, the company said. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera

One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight

The post One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew returns to the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts, showing continued demand for his timeless music. Frank Sinatra performs on his TV special Frank Sinatra: A Man and his Music Bettmann Archive These days on the Billboard charts, Frank Sinatra’s music can always be found on the jazz-specific rankings. While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead. It’s on those charts where Sinatra rebounds this week, and one of his popular projects returns not to one, but two tallies at the same time, helping him increase the total amount of real estate he owns at the moment. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew Returns Sinatra’s The World We Knew is a top performer again, if only on the jazz lists. That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame. The World We Knew’s All-Time Highs The World We Knew returns close to its all-time peak on both of those rosters. Sinatra’s classic has peaked at No. 11 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart, just missing out on becoming another top 10 for the crooner. The set climbed all the way to No. 15 on the Jazz Albums tally and has now spent just under two months on the rosters. Frank Sinatra’s Album With Classic Hits Sinatra released The World We Knew in the summer of 1967. The title track, which on the album is actually known as “The World We Knew (Over and…
