MANILA, Philippines – Inanunsyo ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. nitong Huwebes, Marso 26 ang matagumpay na drilling at testing ng Camago-3 well, ikalawang major milestone sa ilalim ng $893 million Malampaya Phase 4.
“Today, I am proud to announce another step forward in our mission to secure affordable, reliable energy for every Filipino,” sinabi ni Marcos sa isang video message.
“The Camago-3 well has been successfully drilled and tested, producing up to 60 million standard cubic feet of gas per day. It is the campaign and it is significantly larger than our first,” dagdag pa niya.
Ani Marcos, ang Camago-3 ay may taglay na tinatayang 2.5 beses na mas maraming recoverable gas kaysa sa Malampaya East-1 discovery.
“Together, these two wells are projected to extend the life of the Malampaya gas field by an estimated six years,” aniya.
“Malampaya gas costs us roughly ₱4.80 per kilowatt-hour. Imported LNG costs ₱10.30. More than double,” dagdag ni Marcos.
“Every unit of power we generate from Malampaya instead of imported fuel is money saved by households, by small businesses, by every Filipino who pays an electricity bill,” pagtatapos niya. RNT/JGC
