BP targets 5bn barrel prospect

摘要

BP could start drilling a highly anticipated wildcat offshore Canada within 11 weeks, targeting a potential 5 billion barrel prospect that may be one of the biggest undrilled structures ever identified in the country's waters. The upcoming exploration well is important because success would open up a new play offshore Newfoundland & Labrador, generating further interest in the hydrocarbon potential of the province's vast marine basins.
