Darwin nod for Heron-2 probe



By Upstream staff 

MEO Australia said today it had been given permission by the Northern Territory Department of Primary Industry, Fisheries & Mines to begin drilling the Heron-2 well at permit NT/P68 in the Timor Sea.

The jack-up rig West Atlas is currently being transported from Singapore to Darwin on the heavy lift vessel Blue Marlin and is scheduled to arrive tomorrow afternoon.

The vessel's arrival had been delayed by peristent headwinds and busy shipping movements at Singapore harbour.

MEO said it expects to spud Heron-2 on or about 11 October.
