The Thon Prospect is located 125km northwest of Nouakchott and 100km
north of the Chinguetti discovery. Water depth at the location is 659
metres and planned total depth is 3,309 metres. The primary target at
the Thon Prospect comprises a sand channel system interpreted from 3D
seismic.
Note: Under the well naming convention adopted by the Mauritanian
government all wells drilled by Woodside will follow the naming
convention "Chinguetti - Block No - Well No" In order to avoid
confusion the prospect name has been appended to the end of the well
name.
Agreement has been reached (subject to completion of formal farmout
documentation) to farmout equity in the PSC to Petronas Carigali of
Malaysia, Revised equities in the PSC Block 6 and the C-6-1 Thon Well
