The well in the 14/30a block is being drilled using the Transocean Sedco 704 semi-submersible rig and is being managed by Applied Drilling Technology International.
The primary objectives of the well are to obtain a core of the Beauly sandstone reservoir and to collect reservoir fluid samples to establish the API and viscosity of the oil.
EnCore Oil operates the 14/30a block with a 40% interest, while Endeavour Energy, EnQuest and Nautical Petroleum each hold a 20% interest in the block.
