The Pacific Scirocco will be drilling Hyperdynamics Corp.’s Fatala-1 well offshore Guinea instead of the previously contracted Pacific Bora. The company accepted a proposal from its drilling contractor, Pacific Drilling, to switch drillships.
Financial terms under the earlier contract with Pacific Drilling for the Pacific Bora will remain the same with the Pacific Scirocco.
Hyperdynamics plans to spud the Fatala-1 well in April.
“We are very pleased to be able to engage the Pacific Scirocco for our drilling campaign,” said Hyperdynamics President and CEO Ray Leonard. “The Pacific Scirocco is equipped to drill in deeper water – up to 12,000 feet – and could handle either of the two optional follow-up fan wells that may be drilled if the Fatala-1 well is successful.”
