Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (AIM: MSMN) the oil exploration, development and production company, advises an update in respect to EP 145 in the Amadeus Basin in the Northern Territory of Australia ( NT ). As previously advised, Mosman is now operating in two distinct divisions. Dr Julie Daws, in consultation with the Technical Director, Mr. Andy Carroll, is managing Mosman s exploration work in Australia, specifically EP 145 airborne gravity and seismic acquisition. Bids have now been received for the airborne gravity data acquisition and are currently being evaluated. As there are not currently any Covid-19 restrictions in the Northern Territory where EP145 is located, and no ground access is required, this survey is able to proceed in the near future once a contractor is selected and equipment is available.
