Buru to restart exploration at Ungani
PERTH (miningwekly.com) – ASX-listed Buru Energy would restart field activity at the Ungani oil field, in the Canning basin, after reaching an agreement with the Nyikina Mangala and Karajarri traditional owners.
Buru told shareholders on Tuesday that the agreement provided a process by which the company and the traditional owners could engage on Buru’s activities in the Canning basin, and to the company restarting its exploration programme in the area.
Three-dimentional seismic survey work at Ungani was suspended last year after a reported disturbance of artifacts, despite the receipt of clearance from the traditional owners.
The incident was referred to the Department of Indigenous Affairs.
“Developing a strong relationship with the traditional owners is the number one priority for Buru and we are committed to working cooperatively and respectfully with all the traditional owners in our areas of operations,” said Buru MD Keiran Wulff.
He noted that this agreement was a significant step for both the company and the traditional owners to build a long-term and supportive relationship, based on respect and trust, through transparent actions, constructive dialogue, opportunity creation and commitment.
“Buru is very committed to ensuring that traditional owners are fully engaged and achieve material sustainable benefits from Buru’s activities in the region. This has been a constructive process for Buru, and is an important step in developing a long and respectful relationship between Buru and the traditional owners,” said Wulff.
He noted that a seismic crew would be remobilized to the Ungani site to complete the 240 km2 three-dimensional (3D) seismic survey.
Following the 3D acquisition programme, a 670 km2 2D programme was planned along trend from Ugani to delineate additional drilling target analogous to the Ungani oil field. These prospects would be evaluated during the drilling campaign scheduled to start later this year.
