Jadestone Energy has provided an update on the drilling of the 49-H infill well at the Stag oil field. Following the weakening of tropical cyclone Veronica, personnel have safely returned to the field and have undertaken a thorough inspection of the facilities.
Drilling operations with the Ensco 107 jack-up rig have now recommenced on well 49-H. The donor well Stag 14-H has been re-entered and cleaned out, inner casing has been cut and retrieved, and new well activities are underway.
The Stag 49-H well will take approx. 34 days to drill, and is targeting approx. 1.2mmbbls of unswept 2P oil reserves in a higher-pressure area of the Stag oil field, just west of the platform.
