Sosina and its partners have commenced drilling operations on their multi-well drilling programme on Standard Exploration Licence 2/07 in the North Celtic Sea Basin, offshore southern Ireland.
Using the Transocean semi submersible GSF Arctic II semi-submersible rig, drilling operations on the initial Hook Head appraisal well (50/11-4) commenced at 12:00pm on Tuesday, August 5th.
Following completion of this well, a further appraisal well, (50/6-4), is planned to be drilled on the nearby Dunmore oil accumulation, located approximately 20 kilometres to the north of the Hook Head oil accumulation.
It is anticipated that the multi-well drilling programme will take up to 3 months, which includes a provision for a comprehensive wireline logging and testing programme.
