Tap Comment
The Zephyrus-1 exploration well is being drilled from the existing Agincourt Platform as a deviated well. It is designed to test a four-way dip closed depositional mound. The well is expected to take approximately 15 days to reach total depth. Should it be successful it will be brought onto production immediately via the existing platform into the Varanus Island Production hub.
