Eni has received consent to use Scarabeo 8 at Goliat. The facility will drill two production wells. One of the two wells to be drilled is for oil production, while the other is for water injection.
A pilot hole will be drilled first and the production well drilled as a sidetrack from this. Horizontal drilling will be used and the well has been designated 7122/7-C-1 AH. The water injection well has been designated 7122/7-H-2 H and this will entail directional drilling. Drilling is scheduled to begin on 24 June 2017.
The wells are to be drilled by Scarabeo 8, which is a mobile drilling facility of the Moss CS50 MKII type, operated by Saipem Norge. It was built in Russia and Italy and commissioned in 2012. The facility is classified by DNV GL and registered in the Bahamas. Scarabeo 8 was issued with an Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) by the PSA in May 2012.
