More than 2,500 MT sites have been acquired in Papua New Guinea by numerous companies involved in exploration in the region (Mills, personal communication, 1994). BP Exploration<ref name=Hoversten /> acquired MT data over both the Angore anticline and the Hides anticline. The interpreted models from these two data sets provide depth estimates of the base of the Darai Limestone to within 10% of the measured depth in the Angore 1 well. In both cases, the seismic data aided the interpretation.
