CHEVRON is to begin drilling on its P1 and P2 blocks in the Dutch sector of the North Sea upon arrival of the jack-up drilling rig Noble Byron Welliver.
The first of several exploration wells (P2-10) is to be spudded next month. P2-10 will target an existing gas find on P2 and one of the main objectives is to evaluate commercial hydrocarbon flowrates from an extended reach well.
