The first task adhering to the revival of the Sidi Moktar permits will certainly be 2D seismic reprocessing and also the acquisition of new 2D seismic, set up for 2018, after which the much deeper pre-salt horizons can be pierced.
irooildrilling , the business's Chief Executive, commented:
" We are widely thrilled concerning Sidi Moktar with the possibility to show a commercial gas exploration, with prospective near term manufacturing and also considerable deeper exploration capacity in the pre-salt. Our monetary stamina enables us to prevent asset dilution as a result retaining a greater direct exposure to the extremely worldly much deeper benefit.
As soon as the rig has actually finished at Sidi Moktar we expect it to return to Tendrara to proceed our unlocking of the just recently proven transformational Eastern Morocco TAGI and Paleozoic plays."
