Issue 308 - 25 Sep 2015 | 1 minute read

Houston-based Vaalco Energy on 16 September announced the start of production from the North Tchibala 1-H well, marking the first offshore output from the Dentale reservoir. The well, drilled to a total depth of 3,400 metres, is the second to be drilled and placed on production at Vaalco’s new Southeast Etame/North Tchibala (SEENT) platform on the Etame Marin permit. The well was brought on line at a rate of just over 3,000 b/d, and the Transocean Constellation II jackup rig is moving to the Avouma/South Tchibala platform to conduct workover operations.
