Leni Gas and Oil has appointed Trinidad’s largest drilling contractors – Well Services Petroleum Company – to drill the first seven wells at the Goudron field.
The Caribbean-focused explorer has appointed Well Services to kick start its planned 30 well development drilling programme at the field.
Under the contract, Well Services’ Rig 20 will be deployed to the field, and drilling site preparation and required road improvements are underway.
Leni says additional services for the wells – including mud, cementing and logging – will be contracted locally in Trinidad.
“We continue to progress rapidly towards the imminent spud of the new wells which are expected to substantially raise production and tap the reserves that have been booked to the field,” said chief executive Neil Riston.
