Manuel disappoints Ithaca

摘要

Ithaca Energy has completed the drilling of its second exploration well near the Beatrice field in the inner Moray Firth area of the North Sea, but the Manuel prospect well has proved dis appointing. The 11/29-1 well reached a total depth of 2,485m (8,147ft) and is now being plugged and abandoned. The well encountered oil saturated sands of Jurassic age of less than reservoir quality. Wireline logs have been run and pressure and fluid sampling has been undertaken but no oil sample was recovered.
