Oracle Power PLC
( " Oracle ", the " Company " or the " Group ")
Topography Survey Report Completed on the Green Hydrogen Project
' s Site
Oracle Power PLC (AIM: ORCP), a developer of energy and natural
resource project s , is pleased to announce receipt of a topography
survey report on its Green Hydrogen Project site in south-east
Pakistan. Further to the Company's announcement of 19 December
2022, the survey was commissioned by its subsidiary, Oracle Energy
Limited ("Oracle Energy"), from, and conducted by , Fugro Pakistan
B.V . ( " Fugro " ), part of a world renowned global consultancy
group , and represents a further step forward in the development of
this flagship project.
Spanning an area of approximately 28 square kilomet re s, the
topographic survey utilised advanced drone technology to gather
vital mapping data, including accurate terrain information on
roads, streams and buildings. The survey' s findings will play a
crucial role in optimi s ing the planning, design and construction
costs for the proposed future 1.2 GW hybrid wind and solar plants,
along with the intended 400 MW Green Hydrogen facility.
Fugro, with its extensive experience in surveys and mapping,
establish ed, inter alia , survey control stations, stak ed and
mark ed plot boundaries and captur ed ground elevations on a 25-met
re grid. The comprehensive survey report and its associated maps,
drawings and WGS84 coordinates (World Geodetic System 1984) in
respect of the project site, will serve to provide valuable
insights for project design activities .
The topography survey reveal ed no significant obstructions
regarding the Project . The SSGC (Sui Southern Gas Company)
pipeline traverses part of the project' s site and may become
useful at a future commerciality stage . The project' s site mainly
consists of expansive bushes and barren land, alongside select
rain-fed cultivated areas. Ongoing construction of the K-IV
pipeline (Karachi 's water supply project) has facilitated the
establishment of a well-maintained gravel track, thereby ensuring
convenient transportation of heavy equipment. The presence of
existing high tension power lines, a main railway track, and nearby
surface road further enhances accessibility. These positive survey
findings reinforce the Company's unwavering commitment to pursuing
sustainable energy development.
The completion of th is survey sets the stage for the next phase
of our Green Hydrogen Project, which includes site design and
project planning. With an initial planned production capacity of
55,000 tonnes of hydrogen per annum , the p roject aims to become
one of the largest hydrogen initiatives in the Middle East and Asia
n region . Oracle 's joint venture, Oracle Energy, in partnership
with His Highness Sh eikh Ahmed Dalmook Al Maktoum via Kaheel
Energy FZE, envisions supplying regional markets with Green
Hydrogen and Green Ammonia.
Naheed Memon, Chief E xecutive O fficer of Oracle , today
commented :
"The successful conclusion of the topography survey for our
Green Hydrogen Project marks a further significant step forward. We
are now able to proceed with site clearance and can incorporate the
survey data into project design and planning activities . It also
sets the stage for the next phase of our Green Hydrogen Project,
which includes the expected near term completion of the Green
Hydrogen and Green Ammonia commercial and technical feasibility
study. Oracle Energy' s goal is to become a future leading producer
of Green Hydrogen, meeting regional demand as the world transitions
to clean energy. We are excited about the progress made to date and
will continue to provide regular updates as the project advances
further . "
