KrisEnergy Ltd. announced that the Binh Minh 2 vessel has completed a 3,146 km 2D seismic acquisition program in the SS-11 exploration block offshore Bangladesh. The 22-day program was conducted by CGG Services SA.

It will also help us determine potential locations for a planned 3D seismic program, to which we are committed under the work program obligations.”
