Hi,

I would just like to ask for an update on SPR Program. Has PNOC engaged a transaction advisor after the public bidding in April? When will the feasibility study start for the SPR Program?

Thank you.

PNOC advertised the request for expression of interest and submission of eligibility documents for the engagement of Transaction Advisor for the SPR program in May 2021.
