HOUSTON, Mar. 1 -- Rockhopper Exploration PLC, London, plans three to four months of processing and interpretation of 2D and controlled source electromagnetic surveys acquired on its North Falkland basin licenses.

The acquisition included 920 km of 2D seismic data on PL023 and PL024. This information will be integrated with an existing 1,832 km of 2D data on which Rockhopper has identified the J1 prospect and a number of leads.

The CSEM survey, on the same two blocks, is the first ever carried out in the Falklands.
