Project Profile
Value: US$113 million

Block M2 (previously Block SL 2007-01-001) lies off western Sri Lanka and covers 2,924 sq km, including the Barracuda and Dorado gas-condensate discoveries. In February, 2017 the Sri Lankan government invited expressions of interest for appraisal and development of natural gas on offshore Block M2 in the Mannar basin after the block formerly known as 2007-01-001, was recently relinquished by Cairn India Ltd. A data package containing well data and 2,600 sq km of 3D seismic will be available. Government officials are planning private meetings in March 2017 in Houston and London. In 2016 , the ministry signed an agreement with IHS Energy to market M2’s seismic and well log data, and conduct preliminary discussions with interested parties.
