Panoro Energy commenced drilling the DTM-2H production well on the Tortue oil field offshore Gabon. The field is part of the Dussafu Marin PSC.
The well is being drilled with the Borr Norve jack-up rig. The DTM-2H well is being drilled as a horizontal well targeting the Dentale D6 reservoir at 3,140 meters true vertical depth subsea. Following drilling, the DTM-2H is intended to be completed as a gas lifted, subsea oil production well with an approximate 500-meter horizontal drain. The drilling and completion for DTM-2H is expected to take approximately 70 days.
Following the drilling of the DTM-2H well, the rig will move first to drill the DTM-3 pilot hole in order to appraise the northwest of the Tortue field in both the Gamba and Dentale reservoirs. Subsequently, the rig will drill the DTM 3-H production well targeting the Gamba reservoir at Tortue.
