The block has significant 2D and 3D seismic data already completed and no additional seismic acquisition or drilling of wells is planned in the three-year carried period. During this period, Eco will complete the interpretation and analysis required for its planned Work Program with its in-house exploration team. SourceContinue Reading
Enverus Intelligence Research (EIR), a subsidiary of Enverus, has released new research that analyzes which oil and gas plays show the greatest rate of increase in drilling speeds and whether well costs correlate with drilling speeds. In addition, the report looks at how well designs are affecting drilling efficiencies. SourceContinue Reading
Engineering studies (FEED) are progressing for the development of the Sapakara and Krabdagu fields, with combined recoverable resources estimated above 700 MMbbl, thanks to the integration of Water Alternating Gas (WAG) injection technology to maximize recovery. SourceContinue Reading
