Upland Strategy
Upland has a strategy of identifying early stage, frontier assets that have high potential and then developing those assets to a point where commerciality is or is not proven.
In Sarawak, Upland’s work over the last 7 years has shown that there is high prospectivity on Block SK334. As an Exploration and Production company we are now focused on moving SK334 to exploration, appraisal and on success to production.
