Park Place Energy Corp. Updates Progress on License in Bulgaria
Dallas, Texas, USA (PRWEB) October 03, 2014 -- Park Place Energy Corp. (“Park Place” or the “Company”) entered into the License Agreement for the Vranino Block 1-11 on April 1, 2014.
The Company must secure a series of approvals from the government before the Company can commence on ground operations on the license area. In the initial step in the approval process, the Ministry of Environment and Water approved the Company’s overall 5 year work program and its first year work program in late August. The overall work program is designed to demonstrate the technical and commercial feasibility of exploiting the known coal resources as a potential natural gas development; the program includes acquisition of 2D and 3D seismic during the first three years of the license term and the drilling of 5 new wells (or the equivalent of 10,000 meters of new wellbore) in years four and five.
A number of parties filed appeals against the decision of the environmental agency to approve the Company’s work program. The Company believes the decision of the environmental agency will be upheld. During the pendency of these appeals, Park Place will continue with data collection and its geological and geophysical evaluation of the prospect. However, until there is final resolution of the appeals, the Company will not commence on ground operations on the Vranino license area.
Scott Larsen, President, said, “The objections to the decision of the environmental agency either are grounded upon misconceptions about the nature of Park Place’s work program or misconstrue the Bulgarian regulatory requirements. The Company does not plan to use any controversial drilling or completion techniques. We specifically do not plan to use hydrofracking, which is banned in Bulgaria, or coal gasification. Our activities will meet strict environmental standards. We will continue data gathering and preparations for future operations while the appeals of the decision of the environmental agency are pending”.
