Côte d’Ivoire: Anadarko wells disappoint

Two wells drilled by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation have failed to find commercial hydrocarbons. In its Q2 operations report on 24 July, Anadarko said the Paon-6A well on Block CI-103 finished drilling during the quarter and did not encounter hydrocarbons. The well was drilled to appraise the Paon discovery, and the company and its partners are evaluating next steps for the project. On Block CI-527, the Colibri-1X exploration well spudded in June and recently finished drilling.
