KUALA LUMPUR: Triangle Energy (Global) Ltd, in which T7 Global Bhd owns a strategic stake of 9.86%, has struck oil in the coastal Xanadu-1 well in the Perth Basin.
In a press statement, the offshore oilfield service provider (formerly Tanjung Offshore Bhd) said the Perth-based oil and gas production and exploration company, in which it invested US$500,000 in July, had confirmed the presence of hydrocarbon reservoirs at the Xanadu-1 well.
“The Xanadu-1 well is targeting the Xanadu prospect, with an unrisked recoverable resource of 160 million barrels of conventional oil, the largest untested oil prospect in the basin,” it said.
