Petsec Energy said a platform jacket will be fabricated and installed over the Main Pass block on its Hummer exploration prospect.
It will be placed on the BP 1 well which has been drilled and mud-line suspended.
The well will be completed and tested after the jacket has been fabricated and installed.
Petsec said the anticipated timeframe for the fabrication, installation, well completion and testing is between six and seven months.
The Ensco 87 jack-up drilling rig will be used to drill the well which is in US federal offshore waters, 50 miles from Louisiana.
