Drillship arrives for 3 new Malampaya wells
Department of Energy (DOE) officer in charge Sharon Garin launched on June 19 the fourth phase of drilling operations at the Malampaya gas fields.
She said seventh-generation drillship Noble Viking arrived at the Bagong Pag-Asa offshore drill site Drill Site offshore Palawan to start work on the Camago-3, Malampaya East-1 and Bagong Pag-asa 1 wells.
The project will be undertaken by Prime Energy.
The Malampaya offshore gas-to-power Project started in 2001 and now supplies as much as 40 percent of Luzon’s power demand.
