MANILA -- The Malampaya Phase 4 (MP4) development is expected to deliver gas by the fourth quarter of 2026, following the successful drilling, completion and flow test of the Camago-3 well off Palawan.In a statement, Prime Energy, the operator of Service Contract No. 38 (SC 38), said the Camago-3 well flowed at rates of up to 60 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, confirming a substantial addition to Malampaya&#x27;s remaining gas resources.Camago-3 is a significantly larger resource, with recoverable gas volumes to be approximately 2.5 times greater than the Malampaya East-1 (MAE-1) well. This effectively doubles the volume of gas that can be produced from Malampaya&#x27;s remaining reserves.The Camago-3 and MAE-1 are expected to extend the operating life of Malampaya gas field by around six years. This also provides the country with cheaper fuel compared to the imported liquefied natural gas (LNG).The Malampaya consortium, led by Prime Energy in collaboration with joint venture partners UC38 LLC, Prime Oil &amp; Gas, Inc. and PNOC Exploration Corporation, continues to advance activities under MP4 on schedule, with new subsea pipelines being installed to tie additional resources to the Malampaya platform.The next major step is drilling of the Bagong Pag-asa exploration well, located about 30 kilometers north of Malampaya.Malampaya Phase 4 has been certified as a Project of National Significance. Since inception, the Malampaya project has generated more than US $14 billion in revenues for the Philippine government.
