Canada’s Sterling gears up to start Romania drilling

摘要

London—Canada’s Sterling Resources finally looks set to get started with exploration drilling at its Midia and Pelican blocks offshore Romania, having booked a jack-up drilling rig to drill two wells. Sterling said in a statement late May 31 that it has contracted the GSP Jupiter for the drilling of the two back-to-back wells, Ioana and Eugenia, likely to start in mid-to-late September. The exact timing depends on the completion of an offshore drilling program offshore Turkey by state-owned Turkish company TPAO.
