HOUSTON, Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Endeavour
International Corporation (NYSE: END) (LSE: ENDV) ("Endeavour" or
the "Company") today announced that the valve in the Rochelle field
that had been stuck in the 'shut' position has now been opened and
production is expected to re-commence in the next few days.
Following the tie-in of the East Rochelle E2 well, production
from Rochelle could not be restarted due to a valve on the outlet
side of the East Rochelle production manifold that was stuck in the
'shut' position. A diving support vessel was mobilized on
February 22, 2014 and reported this
morning that the valve had been successfully opened. This was
confirmed by the observed pressure response. The East Rochelle E2
well is expected to be brought on production in the next few days,
followed by the restart of production from the West Rochelle W1
well.
The Rochelle field came on-line in October of 2013. Endeavour
has a 44% working interest and the field is located in UKCS Blocks
15/26b, 15/26c and 15/27.
