InterOil has resumed drilling at a license in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea after drilling was suspended due to higher-than-expected pressure.
The company had suspended work on the Wahoo-1 side-track exploration well in petroleum prospecting licence 474 in 2014.
InterOil said work was now resuming and was a “significant step-out” form existing gas fields.
It is expected to test whether successful trends identified around PRL15 extend 170km to the southeast of Elk Antelope.
InterOil holds a 78% interest in the well and is operator. The remaining share is held by minority interest.
