Philippines' Malampaya gas project can be extended for several years, says Udenna president


MANILA, Dec 6 (Reuters): The life of the Philippines' Malampaya natural gas field, which had been projected by the government to run dry by 2027, can be extended for several more years, the president of Udenna Corp, which now controls the project, said on Monday.

"We are very confident we can prolong this project even further. Certainly there's a lot of years to come that the well can still be very productive," Udenna President Marty Escalona said in interview with ANC news channel.
