Salamander’s environmental impact assessment (EIA) for exploration drilling in the G4/50 license in the Greater Bualuang area in the Gulf of Thailand has been granted conditional approval, according to a press release. Of the 20 drilling locations in the original EIA, 18 have been approved subject to: updating the oil spill response modeling to account for the removal of two potential drilling locations; and communicating the removal of the two locations to local stakeholders. In addition, the Thai authorities have stipulated technical adjustments to the drafting.
The 18 locations include all of Salamander’s top ranked prospects in the G4/50 license, and the company expects to commence exploration drilling before year-end 2014, according to the release.
