Talisman recently spudded the first of a planned three wells on Trinidad's Eastern Block in the third quarter, company president Jim Buckee said in a conference call.
The first well, called Zaboca, will cost $21 million and is aiming at deeper targets than those on the offshore Angostura development.
The ongoing assessment of Angostura, in which Talisman has a 25% stake, is apparently confirming reports from Trinidad about disappointing productivity and output on the project.
