Hyperdynamics started drilling operations earlier this week at the Fatala turbidite fan prospect offshore Guinea, West Africa.

On 21 May, the Pacific Scirocco drillship entered Guinea shelf waters. Due to an amendment to the drilling contract, Pacific Drilling and SCS Corp., the wholly owned subsidiary of Hyperdynamics, the Pacific Scirocco will also be used for mobilization for petroleum operations. The amendment stipulates the rates and timing related to installing on the rig some drilling-related equipment, stocking up materials and supplies for the subsequent spudding of the Fatala 1 well.

"We are very pleased that the rig has arrived in Guinea and has commenced drilling operations as provided by the third amendment to the PSC and look forward to drilling the Fatala prospect as soon as the rig gets on board additional equipment and supplies,” said Hyperdynamics President and CEO Ray Leonard.
