Mauritania Comes Up Dry Again

摘要

Malaysian state Petronas has drilled an- other deepwater duster offshore Mauritania, plugging and abandoning the Gharabi-1 well in Block 6. The well, drilled by the Maersk Deliverer in water depths of 1,787 meters to a total depth of 4,433 meters, intersected poorly developed water-bearing reservoirs. Petronas' partner Tullow Oil said in a state- ment that Gharabi-1 was drilled to meet a commitment on the block. Another Block 6 well, dubbed Sidewinder, is due to be drilled in the second half of 2011.
