Marathon will finish work at the Harir-1 well in the Harir Block before moving the rig to a new location to drill a second well on the same acreage.
Harir-1 began drilling on 30 July and reached its target depth of 3800 metres this week.
Marathon is hunting for oil and gas potential in Mesozoic fractured carbonates with reservoir objectives in the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic formations.
