Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) is about to start a deep-water drilling campaign off Brunei, while in shallow waters it has two jack-up rigs working at its Champion field, writes Russell Searancke.
The deep-water rig is the Transocean-owned semi-submersible Deepwater Nautilus, which BSP has contracted for one well with three additional one-well options starting this month.
BSP did not respond to inquiries about this month's deep-water work, but it is understood that the well will be either for exploration or appraisal.
