After completion of DTM-3H, the rig moved and commenced to drill the DRNEM-1 appraisal well, to test one of several prospects in the Ruche North East area of the Dussafu Licence. BW Offshore is pleased to announce that the well encountered 15 meters of good quality oil pay in the Gamba formation. In addition, the well encountered 25 meters of oil pay from multiple Dentale horizons. BW Offshore is in the process of drilling an appraisal side-track to delineate the discovery.

BW Adolo left anchorage in Singapore and commenced its transit to Gabon late June. The unit arrived in Gabon on 28 July. The hook up of mooring systems is now completed and the installation of risers and umbilicals is progressing according to plan. Completion is expected in time for planned production start- up from the Dussafu field in September/ October.

BW Offshore has completed two production wells including an appraisal side-track on the Tortue field, within the Dussafu license. The first production well, DTM- 2H, was successfully drilled and completed in April. On 14 May, BW Offshore announced the successful completion of the DTM-3 appraisal well to the northwest on the Tortue field. The DTM-3 appraisal side- track wellbore was designed to appraise the western flank of the Tortue field Gamba and Dentale formations. The key objectives for the appraisal side-track were achieved and are currently being assessed for a material upgrade of the Tortue reserves. Following completion of DTM-3 appraisal side-track, the rig drilled and completed the second horizontal development well, DTM-3H. The two production wells have been completed and are ready for hook-up to the FPSO.
