The
Caribbean
nation
is
gearing
up
to
drill
the
first
exploration
well
later
this
year,
an
Oslo
conference
was
told
on
Wednesday.
The
pioneering
probe
is
set
to
be
drilled
by
the
Spanish
explorer
in
the
fourth
quarter
100
kilometres
off
Key
West,
Florida
and
“a
major
discovery
could
open
a
new
offshore
play”
on
both
sides
of
the
US-Cuba
border,
said
Pareto
Securities’
senior
oil
service
analyst
Andreas
Stubsrud.
A
total
of
five
wells
are
to
be
drilled
over
the
next
18
months
in
the
blocks
in
the
eastern
Gulf
of
Mexico…
