[{"type":"text","content":"\n RNS Number : 9337I Borders & Southern Petroleum plc 26 November 2008 \n \n\n\n\n\n\n26 November 2008\n\nBorders & Southern Petroleum plc\n('Borders & Southern' or 'the Company')\n\n\nCompletion of Benthic Sampling Survey\n\nBorders & Southern is pleased to announce the successful completion of its benthic sampling programme within its South Falkland Basin licences. The survey, carried out by Benthic Solutions Limited, involved collecting samples of the seabed and water quality profiles. The data gathered will be used to compile an environmental baseline report which forms part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) currently being compiled by RPS Energy. Additionally, seabed gravity cores were taken to provide a geotechnical assessment of the seabed strata.\n\nThe completion of this survey now concludes the pre-drill surveying on the Company's acreage. Portions of the 3D seismic data acquired earlier in the year will be reprocessed to provide detailed drilling hazard analysis, so that there will be no need for additional site specific high resolution 2D seismic.\n\nThe interpretation of the 3D seismic is progressing very well and will be reported on in due course.\n\nFor further information, please visit www.bordersandsouthern.com or contact: \n\n \n\n\n\n\nBorders & Southern Petroleum plc\nHoward Obee, Chief Executive \n\n\n\n\n020 7661 9348\n\n\n\n\nPanmure Gordon (UK) Limited \nKatherine Roe\n\n\n\n\n020 7459 3600\n\n\n\n\nOcean Equities Ltd\nGuy Wilkes\n\n\n\n\n020 7786 4370\n\n\n\n\nTavistock Communications \nSimon Hudson \n\n\n\n020 7920 3150 \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \nThis information is provided by RNSThe company news service from the London Stock Exchange END MSCUVRBRWBRAUAA \n ","length":4500,"tagName":"div"}]
