GRANDE PRAIRIE, AB – TheNewswire - (May 25, 2022): Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV:ANK) and (OTC:ANKOF) (“Angkor” or “the Company”) announces Angkor’s energy subsidiary, EnerCam Resources Corp., (EnerCam) advances potential Cambodian energy with inspection of production facilities in the offshore Khmer Basin.  

Executive VP Operations of Angkor, and President of EnerCam, Mike Weeks, at the request of government officials of Ministry of Energy in the Kingdom of Cambodia, has led a technical assessment and inspection of the offshore production facilities and drilling platform, located 160 kms from Sihanoukville at the offshore oil field in the Khmer Basin of the Gulf of Thailand.

As President of and on behalf of EnerCam, Weeks, with over 30 years’ experience in international petroleum production, undertook a comprehensive study of producing offshore reservoir and potential recovery of further oil production over the past five months.  As follow up to the report, submitted to Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) in March, Weeks recently oversaw a physical inspection of the offshore facilities.  The crew ship taking the team 160 kilometers southwest of Sihanoukville, departed May 3 and the 8-man technical team was joined by 15 officials from Cambodia’s MME through inclement weather and unsettled waters.  

In December of 2021, Weeks coordinated a team of veterans and specialists, each with +35 years of practical expertise, most of whom are Canadian, to study the potential to restart and continue producing the field.  Team members included experienced specialists in fields such as reservoir integrity, down-hole well optimization, environmental impact, safety, and other production fields.

“We’re happy to assist Cambodia in developing its own energy sector both offshore and onshore,” says Weeks.  This inspection of the existing facilities aids in providing industry and government to determine next steps in future production and expansion of Cambodia’s own production.”

A full inspection report and production restart analysis is being reviewed by all parties currently.
