Stena Don is a harsh environment semisubmersible unit that is suitable for drilling, completion and workover operations.
Drilling of the SA-02 well, in license P.2358, Block 13/23c, should start later this week and continue for about 30 days.
i3 Energy CEO Majid Shafiq said, “The well is designed to prove the extension of the reservoir to the west of the discovery well 13/23c-10 and so prove up additional hydrocarbon volumes in place.
“This will enable optimization of any necessary further appraisal and a development plan for the field."
