(PNOC-EC) has decided to defer the first scheduled oil drilling for service contract (SC) 47 in Northwest Palawan to January 2007.

PNOC president Eduardo Mañalac said the group has moved the drilling schedule due to lack of available drilling rig and equipment.

Mañalac, however, said the consortium is currently conducting a different kind of pre-exploration study, called a seabed logging survey. This technique will attempt to measure potential hydrocarbon or oil near the seabed.
