Description:
- More than two years ago Philippine energy officials called off drilling for oil and natural gas in a sensitive part of the South China Sea that Beijing claims as its own.

The location is called Reed Bank, an 8,866 square-kilometer table mount 80 kilometers from the Philippine island of Palawan.
