Oil exploration within the Repsol-operated Kanuku Block, offshore Guyana, is set to continue with the spudding of the Beebei-Potaro well in May.
In a statement released last Wednesday, offshore drilling contractor Noble Corporation disclosed that it was awarded a one-well contract by Repsol to commence the drilling of the Beebei-Potaro well in May, 2022.
The spudding of the Beebei-Potaro well will follow that of the Carapa-1 well, which was drilled in a water depth of 80 metres. Four metres of net oil pay containing good quality low sulphur oil, but in poorly developed reservoirs of Cretaceous age was discovered.
