Maersk
Drilling’s
semi-submersible
Maersk
Deliverer
spun
the
bit
on
the
118/5-1
well
on
the
South
Tapir
prospect
on
Thursday
morning,
Chariot
revealed.
The
well
is
only
the
second
to
ever
be
drilled
on
the
offshore
Namibe
Basin
and
is
Chariot’s
first
in
what
will
be
a
four
or
five-well
programme
off
the
African
nation.
Chariot
said
the
probe
has
a
25%
shot
at
success
with
unrisked
prospective
resource
potential
of
604
million
barrels
of
oil.
Drilling
and
testing
is
expected
to
take
70
days
with
a
total
depth
of
5100
metres
being
chased.
The
Tapir
South
prospect
is
about
80
kilometres…
