Sintana Energy ( (TSE:SEI) ) just unveiled an update.

Sintana Energy has begun a 3D seismic acquisition campaign on the offshore AREA OFF-1 block in Uruguay, a key step in appraising its Atlantic-margin portfolio. The survey, operated by Chevron affiliate Viridien using the BGP Prospector vessel, will span about 4,300 square kilometres over two seasons through April 2027, with early fast-track results expected in late 2026.

The company holds a 40% non-operated stake in AREA OFF-1 and is fully carried for the seismic costs following a 2025 farm-out of a 60% interest to Chevron, underscoring strong industry backing. The start of work follows court rejection of challenges by activist groups, highlighting both the robustness of Uruguay’s environmental permitting regime and Sintana’s emphasis on high health, safety and environmental standards as it integrates the asset acquired via Challenger Energy into its broader transatlantic portfolio.
