UK focused independent i3 Energy announced that the Borgland Dolphin semi-submersible drilling rig has arrived on location at the Liberator field and that the LPt-02 pilot well has now been spud.
The results of the LPt-02 well will allow the location and trajectory of the future LP-02 production well to be optimized and will be plugged and abandoned as planned before the rig moves to the LA-03 location, the next well in i3's 2019 drilling program, i3 Energy said.
Majid Shafiq, CEO of i3 Energy commented, "We are excited to now be on location and drilling the first of three high impact wells into our 100% owned Liberator and Serenity structures and look forward to updating the market as each well objective is achieved."
