Buru Energy Limited has commenced line clearing operations for the Ungani 3D seismic survey, with data acquisition expected to commence at the end of the month.

The Ungani 3D survey will help confirm the oil volumes in the Ungani Oilfield, define optimal locations for development wells, and provide further information on the Ungani North oil discovery.

The 243 square kilometre survey was suspended last year, and is recommencing subsequent to a recent comprehensive agreement and renewed approach to engagement with the Traditional Owners in the area.

The survey is expected to be completed by the end of September and it is planned to have preliminary processed data available in November 2013 with the aim of using the data for the optimal placement of development wells.
