Accra-based Springfield E&P next months will spud the first of two exploration probe on its promising West Cape Three Points (WCTP) Block 2 off Ghana, writes Iain Esau.

The indigenous operator this week struck a deal to charter drillship Stena Forth for a two-well drilling campaign once the rig completes operations for Tullow Oil off Guyana.

Springfield’s first probe on the Oak prospect is set to spud late next month, with an exploration well on the Afina prospect to follow.
