HOUSTON -- Harvest Natural Resources says drilling is under way on the Ruche Marin-A exploration well offshore Gabon.

The semisub Transocean Sedneth is drilling the well in a water depth of 380 ft (116 m) to test multiple stacked pre-salt targets to a planned total MD of 10,100 feet.

Drilling should last around 28 days. In the event of a discovery, further time will be added to test and evaluate the well.
