Mauritania: Banda NW-1 hits gas |
|
MAURITANIA: PC Mauritania I Pty Ltd. detected gas in Banda NW-1 after running wireline logs in the exploration well drilled in PSC Area B off the Mauritanian coast. The well was drilled to a total depth of 2,703 metres (8,868 ft) by Atwood Oceanics Inc. semisubmersible Atwood Hunter. The rig is now drilling a sidetrack borehole to test the gas column. Atwood Hunter will depart from the well location after the wireline logging is complete. The rig is expected to move on to the Chinguetti oil and gas field, where it is scheduled to carry out a programme of well interventions and drill two new production wells. Atwood Hunter is subcontracted to PC Mauritania for work in the area under an original charter with Woodside Petroleum. PC Mauritania operates PSC Area B Joint Venture with 53.85 per cent interest. Other partners are Tullow Oil (21.6 percent), Mauritania Holdings B.V. (11.63 per cent), Premier Oil (9.23 per cent) and Roc Oil (3.69 percent).
