Drilling has started on the appraisal program to evaluate the world class SNE oil discovery offshore Senegal. The three wells SNE-2, SNE-3 and BEL-1 will be drilled back to back in a program that is estimated to be completed in mid-2016. Both SNE-2 and SNE-3 appraisal wells will be logged, cored and flow tested."

This is further up the coast, so it may not be directly related. Nevertheless, as Ray had mentioned once or twice in the past, these prospects may have some similarities to some of the prospects in other parts of the Guinea concession (away from Fatala and the turbidites). So it might be something interesting to watch over the coming months.
