[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n \n18 July 2023 \nOracle Power PLC \n(\"Oracle\", the \"Company\" or the \"Group\") \n \nTopography Survey Report Completed on the Green Hydrogen Project's Site \n \nOracle Power PLC (AIM: ORCP), a developer of energy and natural resource projects, is pleased to announce receipt of a topography survey report on its Green Hydrogen Project site in south-east Pakistan. Further to the Company's announcement of 19 December 2022, the survey was commissioned by its subsidiary, Oracle Energy Limited (\"Oracle Energy\"), from, and conducted by, Fugro Pakistan B.V. (\"Fugro\"), part of a world renowned global consultancy group, and represents a further step forward in the development of this flagship project.\nSpanning an area of approximately 28 square kilometres, the topographic survey utilised advanced drone technology to gather vital mapping data, including accurate terrain information on roads, streams and buildings. The survey's findings will play a crucial role in optimising the planning, design and construction costs for the proposed future 1.2 GW hybrid wind and solar plants, along with the intended 400 MW Green Hydrogen facility.\nFugro, with its extensive experience in surveys and mapping, established, inter alia, survey control stations, staked and marked plot boundaries and captured ground elevations on a 25-metre grid. The comprehensive survey report and its associated maps, drawings and WGS84 coordinates (World Geodetic System 1984) in respect of the project site, will serve to provide valuable insights for project design activities.\nThe topography survey revealed no significant obstructions regarding the Project. The SSGC (Sui Southern Gas Company) pipeline traverses part of the project's site and may become useful at a future commerciality stage. The project's site mainly consists of expansive bushes and barren land, alongside select rain-fed cultivated areas. Ongoing construction of the K-IV pipeline (Karachi's water supply project) has facilitated the establishment of a well-maintained gravel track, thereby ensuring convenient transportation of heavy equipment. The presence of existing high tension power lines, a main railway track, and nearby surface road further enhances accessibility. These positive survey findings reinforce the Company's unwavering commitment to pursuing sust...
