BW Offshore is pleased to announce the successful drilling and completion of the first development well, DTM-2H, located in the Tortue field, within the Dussafu License, offshore Gabon.
Drilling of the oil production well commenced in late January 2018 and was completed with no safety-related incidents, on schedule and within budget. Interpretation of the logging results indicates that the well was entirely consistent with pre-drill prognosis and objectives. DTM-2H was drilled and completed as a horizontal production well in the Dentale D6 reservoir and encountered a long horizontal section of oil-saturated Dentale D6 sandstone.
Following demobilisation at the DTM-2H well, the Borr Norve drilling rig will commence operations on the DTM-3 appraisal well to the northwest on the Tortue field. After completion, the rig is scheduled to drill and complete the horizontal oil production well, DTM-3H, in the Gamba sandstone. Drilling operations are expected to continue until the end of June.
