OML 40 - FDP Approval and Resumption of Drilling Activities
Eland Oil & Gas PLC (AIM:ELA), an oil & gas production
and development company operating in West Africa with an initial
focus on Nigeria, is pleased to announce that regulatory approval
has been obtained for the Gbetiokun Field Development Plan ("FDP")
from the Department of Petroleum Resources.
The FDP caters for the drilling of an additional five oil
production wells during phase 1 of the development, followed by the
drilling of a further six oil production wells and a single
workover well (the conversion Gbetiokun-2 to a water disposal well)
during phase 2.
Furthermore, following the successful completion of remedial and
upgrade works on the swamp drilling unit "OES Teamwork", we are
pleased to announce the spudding of the Gbetiokun-4 well on 12 July
2019. It is intended that this well will be completed as a dual
string producer on the E3000 and E5000 reservoirs with an estimated
initial production rate of between 3,000 and 5,000 bopd.
George Maxwell, CEO of Eland, commented:
"We are delighted to have received regulatory approval for the
Gbetiokun Field Development Plan from the Department of Petroleum
Resources. The approval enables us to progress with our phased
development programme of the Gbetiokun field.
"Moreover, we are pleased to have resumed drilling on the
Gbetiokun field after the successful remedial work on the OES
Teamwork rig. We look forward to updating our shareholders on
drilling progress in the near future."
