Palmer Petroleum finds giant gas potential off PNG

摘要

Sydney—Privately owned Australian explorer Palmer Petroleum has identified what it claims could be one of the world’s largest gas fields offshore Papua New Guinea. The field had been identified by 3D seismic studies as part of an A$50 million ($45 million) exploration program, Chairman Clive Palmer said Wednesday. The work, in Palmer Petroleum’s wholly owned PPL 381 permit, was conducted by UK-based oil and gas consultants Robertson, which is part of the CGG Group.
