HOUSTON, May 21 – Manas Petroleum Corp., Baar, Switzerland, said the team of geologists and geophysicists at its DWM Petroleun unit in Ulan Bator has begun reinterpreting geological data and planning a gravity survey on blocks 13 and 14 in Mongolia.

The gravity survey is intended to further define the location of lines for a seismic program of around 300 line-km on the blocks. An environmental protection and restoration plan has been prepared and is subject to approval of the Ministry of Environment.

Data from 451 existing wells in Zuunbayan and Tsagaan Els oil fields and in the company’s prospects have been collected and translated from Russian and Mongolian into English for analysis. The blocks cover nearly 5 million acres along Mongolia’s southern border.
