The Gas volume (In Place) of the Shwe field has been assessed between 2.88 TCF to 3.56 TCF by the consulting firm.

The consortium has already started the 2005-06 drilling campaign, with Shwe Nilar-1 well near the Shwe field, in mid December 2005, to add up more gas volume in the Shwe area.

The Shwe Phyu field, another discovery in Block A-1, will be appraised by three appraisal wells during the current drilling campaign. The consortium will also start an exploration drilling program in Block A-3 by drilling the first exploratory well, Mya-1, in the beginning of 2006.

During the 2005-06 drilling campaign, the consortium will drill six to seven wells in Blocks A-1 and A-3, comprising of three appraisal wells at the Shwe Phyu field, two or three more exploratory wells to test the Shwe Nilar and Ngwe North prospects in Block A-1, and one exploratory well to test the Mya prospect in Block A-3.
