Ophir Energy plc provides the following update on its operations: Commencement of three well drilling programme in Equatorial Guinea (Block R)
The first well in Ophir's 2012 Block R campaign in Equatorial Guinea was spudded on 2 July by the "Eirik Raude" rig. Ophir operates Block R with an 80% stake.
The Eirik Raude semi-submersible will batch drill the top-hole sections at both Fortuna East and Fortuna West before moving to the Tonel-1 location where it will drill the entire well. Once Tonel-1 has been completed the rig will return to, and complete, Fortuna West and then Fortuna East. The entire programme is anticipated to take 60-90 days.
