ExxonMobil’s work on the TT Ultra Deep 1 (TTUD 1) block is running on schedule, with the first shot of the seismic survey expected to begin in about two months, the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries (MEEI) said.

A MEEI release on December 16 said the update was provided to the ministry by a high-level delegation from the US Embassy and ExxonMobil.

“ExxonMobil indicated that operations projected for TTUD 1 are on schedule and confirmed that the company has now selected a seismic acquisition vendor and expressed gratitude for the support and cooperation of the Government thus far as the company proceeds to ambitiously begin seismic acquisition within six (6) months of the Production Sharing Contract signing that occurred in August 2025. The anticipated first shot window is projected for February 2026,” the release said.
