Royale seismic slated for February

Royale Energy Inc. is conducting its first Alaska seismic campaign in February.

The San Diego, Calif.-based independent and its Australian partner Rampart Energy Ltd. have contracted for SAE Exploration to conduct a 3-D seismic survey over 120 square miles of state acreage in the central North Slope, the companies announced Jan. 7.

The campaign fulfills the early terms of a farm-in agreement the companies signed in May 2013. The program also calls for the companies to drill two wells in 2015 to look for conventional and unconventional targets to be identified by the current seismic work. The companies expect the program to take 30 days.
