Leni Gas & Oil (LGO) has spudded the fifth well in its 30-well Goudron development in Trinidad.
The GY-668 drilling started on Saturday, August 9, and is targeting a 2,880 feet true-vertical depth.
This is the last well in the four-well pad targeting the Gros Morne sandstones. Following the drill all four wells will be prepared for the arrival of the completions rig before the Well Services Rig 20 moves to the third drill site, intended to host four new wells.
That site is now being constructed and is anticipated to be ready to receive the rig as soon as it is released from the current drilling pad, LGO said in a statement.
“As we become more familiar with the geology and sub-surface conditions the drilling of wells at Goudron is becoming progressively more routine,” said Neil Ritson, LGO chief executive.
“The results we have obtained, in terms of oil pay and reservoir pressure, have however exceeded our pre-drill expectations and we are now firmly expecting excellent production performance from the wells on this first pad.”
