deepsea metro 1 drillship on schedule

Deepsea Metro 1 drillship (which will be drilling Mbawa) is still on schedule, so in around 4 weeks from now it should be on the way to the Mbawa prospect.
Looking at the distance, I guess the journey should only take around 1 or 2 days.

Ophir Energy Provides Update on Papa-1 Well Drilling

3 July 2012

Ophir Energy plc provides update on Papa-1 well drilling in Tanzania (Block 3). The Block 1, 3 and 4 drilling programme, operated by BG (Ophir 40%) continues on schedule. The Deepsea Metro 1 completed operations at the Mzia-1 discovery (Block 1) on 21 May and the vessel then moved to the Papa-1 location in Block 3. The well spudded on 29 May and is estimated to take 65 days to complete. Papa-1 is targeting the Upper Cretaceous intra-slope channel play within the Rufiji delta. The Papa-1 prospect has an unrisked mean estimated recoverable resource of 3.1 TCF (517 MMBOE). Results are expected to be released in late July.

Once Papa-1 is completed the Deepsea Metro 1 will be assigned to Apache for a single well in Kenya on acreage adjacent to Ophir’s Blocks L9 (60%) and L15 (100%), before returning to continue operations with the Ophir-BG Joint Venture in Tanzania.
