吴哥资源公司（Angkor Resources Corp.，简称“吴哥”或“吴哥公司”）宣布，其北博科地震勘探项目已取得成果，确认在第八区块范围内平坦的谷底地带下埋藏着第三个背斜穹丘构造。

此前，我们在第八区块的南博科和中博科均发现了具有潜在钻探目标的封闭背斜构造，此次发现另一个潜在的封闭背斜构造意义重大。吴哥公司的子公司柬埔寨能源资源有限公司（EnerCam Resources Co. Cambodia Ltd.，简称“能源资源”）因此新增了第三个潜在的油气钻探目标，预计将在未来一年内进行钻探。一旦发现并证实存在商业油气储层，将标志着柬埔寨首个陆上油气资源的诞生。

北博科构造的发现，为我们在第八区块油气许可证西侧的勘探目标增添了又一​​个背斜构造。与中博科尔和南博科尔构造相比，北博科尔构造的一个显著区别在于，我们绘制的区域不整合面位于明显更浅的深度。下图显示，脊线位于地表以下150-200毫秒双程走时（TWT）处，即谷底以下约300-400米。

北博科尔地震勘探并未证实该构造为封闭构造，但管理层根据北博科尔谷底东西两侧山丘的周边地貌特征，相信该背斜构造最终会证实为封闭构造。上图清晰地展现了近期披露的南博科尔和中博科尔勘探区总体褶皱走向。

南博科尔和中博科尔次盆地已识别出显著的闭合背斜构造，其闭合面积分别约为48平方公里和60平方公里，位于区域测绘的不整合面之下。EnerCam

的技术经理Keith Edwards就地震剖面及其对读者的意义评论道：“我们测绘的区域不整合面如此接近地表，这意味着我们将更容易钻探到第八区块西部的一些更深层目标。”

ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP. (“ANGKOR” OR “THE COMPANY”) announces the results of our North Bokor seismic program leading to the confirmation of a third anticlinal dome structure buried under the flat valley bottom lands within our Block VIII boundaries.

After identifying closed anticline structures in both South Bokor and Central Bokor on Block VIII, with potential drilling targets, finding another potentially closed anticline is very positive. Angkor’s subsidiary EnerCam Resources Co. Cambodia Ltd. (‘EnerCam’) has now added a third potential target for oil and gas drilling in the coming year. Finding and proving up a commercial hydrocarbon reservoir will define the first onshore hydrocarbon resource in the nation of Cambodia.

The North Bokor structure brings another anticline to our proposed targets on the west side of the Block VIII oil and gas license. A noticeable difference from both the Central Bokor and South Bokor structures is that our mapped regional unconformity surface at North Bokor is found at significantly shallower depths. The illustration below shows the crest is located between 150-200ms two-way-time (TWT) below surface, making this some 300-400 metres below the surface of the valley floor.

The North Bokor seismic does not confirm a closed structure, however management is confident that this anticline structure will prove to be closed based upon the surrounding physical features of the hills to the west and east of the North Bokor valley floor. The illustration above clearly follows the general fold trend of the South and Central Bokor prospects, identified in recent disclosures.

South Bokor and Central Bokor sub basins have identified significant closed anticline structures with approximately 48 and 60 square kilometres respectively of closure beneath the regionally mapped unconformity surface.

Keith Edwards, Technical manager for EnerCam, comments on the seismic lines and what they tell readers: “The fact that the regional unconformity surface we have been mapping is so close to the surface here means that we will have an easier time drilling down to some of our deeper targets in this part of our western half of Block VIII.”
