The Cladhan well is an exciting exploration prospect for us with significant potential for oil in place. Applied Drilling Technology International (ADTI) is providing drilling support on a turnkey basis for the Cladhan well, concurrent to their ongoing support with the ENSCO 70 rig on our current East Breagh well."
