Ghana Maersk Viking
“The drillship arrival marks an important milestone towards the start of the upcoming drilling campaign. The Maersk Viking will commence drilling of the Pecan-4A appraisal well when all preparations have been completed,” country manager Jan Helge Skogen said in a company statement.
The Maersk Viking, an ultra-deepwater drillship, is set to begin drilling in the Deepwater Tano Cape Three Points block in Q4 2018. The Pecan-4A well is expected to take 30-35 days to drill.
Aker Energy is the operator of the block with a 50% participating interest alongside partners Lukoil (38%), Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (10%) and Fueltrade (2%).
