LONDON -- Premier Oil plans to plug and abandon the Frida Marine-1 exploratory well in its Congo Marine IX permit.

The well reached its target depth of 3,250 m (10,663 ft) without encountering hydrocarbons. The company and its partners are analyzing the results to determine the implications of a planned follow-up well on the Ida prospect.
