Jade Gas to Conduct Seismic Surveys for Deeper Exploration in Mongolia’s TTCBM Project
Jade Gas has announced plans to conduct 2D and 3D seismic surveys at its Tavantolgoi XXXIII Coal Bed Methane (TTCBM) project in Mongolia. The initiative aims to assess the potential of deeper gas-bearing horizons, including shale gas and tight sandstone reservoirs beyond coal seams already targeted for development. The company cited geological parallels with China's Ordos Basin as a basis for its exploration strategy. Initial 2D seismic will map structural features broadly before more detailed 3D surveys identify high-potential drilling locations. Jade Gas has also received interest from international energy firms regarding the deeper potential of TTCBM, reinforcing its decision to pursue further investigation. The project is part of a longer-term initiative and does not affect Jade's immediate focus on commercializing existing resources at Red Lake. Recently, the company submitted development plans for TTCBM with Mongolia’s regulator.
