Thursday, October 22, 2015

Cote d’Ivoire’s Block CI-508 will see the drill bit drop before the end of 2015 Genel Energy revealed in its trading and operations update. Genel, partnered with Vitol (operator) on Block CI-508, will drill the Aigle Prospect.

The well, which is targeting significant oil prospectivity in stacked Cretaceous reservoirs, will take approximately 50 days to complete at an estimated future cost of $10 million net to Genel, which will largely be payable in 2016.
