OSLO, Norway – Borr Drilling’s jackup Borr Norve has spudded the DTM-2H production well on the Tortue oil field offshore southern Gabon, according to Panoro Energy.
Tortue, part of theDussafu Marin production-sharing contract (PSC), is 50 km (31 mi) offshore in a water depth of around 116 m (380 ft). It contains oil in two main sandstone reservoirs – the Gamba and the Dentale D6.
BW Energy Dussfau operates the PSC.
DTM-2H is being drilled as a horizontal well targeting the Dentale D6 reservoir at 3,140 m (10,302 ft) TVD subsea.
It will then be completed as a gas-lifted, subsea oil production well with a 500-m (1,640-ft) horizontal drain. The program should be completed within 70 days, after which the rig will drill the DTM-3 pilot hole to appraise the northwest of the Tortue field in both the Gamba and Dentale reservoirs.
Thereafter, it will drill the DTM 3-H production well targeting the Gamba reservoir at Tortue.
