The Anglo-Dutch supermajor will drill one well in each of blocks 1 and 4 this year, block partner Ophir Energy said on Thursday.
“These wells are targeting resource that is close to the planned location of sub-sea development infrastructure and can be tied back easily, thus improving the economics of any potential development,” Ophir said.
The London-listed independent said it has set aside a total of $20 million from its reduced capital expenditure budget for the rest of the year for the two wells.
