PERTH, Australia ā€“ Pura Vida has issued an update on activities at the Mazagan permit off Moroccoā€™s Atlantic coast.

The concession covers an area of 8,717 sq km (3,365 sq mi) in water depths of 1,370-3,000 m (4,495-9,842 ft). There are prospective targets at Miocene, Cretaceous, and Jurassic levels.

Analysis of data and samples from last yearā€™sMZ-1 well has been completed. Results are being integrated into the technical evaluation which includes the recently reprocessed pre-stack depth migrated seismic data.

Current technical focus is on maturation of prospects for a second well in the permit.

Pura Vida subsidiary PVD Exploration Morocco has written to operator Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas, PXP Morocco reserving its rights in relation to the second well obligation under the farm-in and joint operating agreements.

These require PXP to drill two wells. The parties are discussing how to progress or resolve this issue.
