In a low key announcement, on 16 April Roxi Petroleum announced the spudding of the first new well on the BNG Contract Area since they assumed operatorship of the block.
Well 805 commenced drilling on 14 April targeting the already discovered South Yelemes field. The well will be drilled to 2,500m, so it seems it will explore both formations previously discovered in Well 54. Roxi re-entered well 54, previously drilled in the 1980's and produced 200bopd from the Upper Jurassic sands at 2,212m. There is also another potential productive formation at around 2,223m but that suffered from waterinflux from behind the casing. Hopefully, Well 805 will have more success in this zone.
It is to be expected that Well 806 will be drilled once 805 has been completed.
