Cairn Energy, FAR Ltd., and ConocoPhillips spud a new appraisal well in Senegal. The SNE-4 appraisal well is being drilled to appraise the eastern extent of the SNE field.
The partners are aiming to intersect a key reservoir in the oil leg with the drilling of the SNE-4. They are also looking to acquire reservoir information from all units to investigate lateral variability/connectivity and increase the contingent resource base.
The SNE-4 well is located in 940 meters water depth and will be drilled to a total depth of 3,020 meters TVD. It will be drilled and logged and is expected to take approximately four weeks to complete.
This further appraisal well in the SNE field will assist in progressing towards confirming the commercial viability of the field.
