Rockhopper Exploration to drill another well on the Isobel/Elaine complex

Rockhopper Exploration says that agreement has been reached to drill a further well on the Isobel/Elaine complex. The re-drill well will target the Isobel Deep reservoir which was oil bearing in well 14/20-1, but could not be logged or sampled for mechanical reasons. This new well will be drilled a suitable distance (approximately 4km) from the original well bore and is also expected to encounter additional reservoir targets in the Elaine South and Isobel Shallow Fans.
