Singapore: AziPac, a new exploration and production company focused on exploring for oil and gas in the maritime basins offshore in the Asia Pacific region and the Bay of Bengal has been established. AziPac is backed by Seacrest Capital Group, the global energy investor. AziPac will be headquartered in Singapore.
AziPac has secured a number of exploration licences in the Southeast Asian offshore and Bay of Bengal regions. Further details of the opening portfolio of licences will be made public following final regulatory approval in each of the relevant countries.
