Canadian operator CGX Energy has been given approval by the Guyanese government for a revised work programme on its shallow-water Corentyne block, writes Julia Martinez.
Partner Frontera Energy said the re-sequenced programme allows for a seismic study over the northern area of the 1.13 million-net-acre block.
The study will help the partners "evaluate more comprehensively the hydrocarbon potential of the Corentyne block updip from discoveries in the adjacent Stabroek block" and help the company assess whether it first drills the Utakwaaka well or another well located in the northern region of the block, Frontera said.
