According to company’s bidding invitation for Semi – Submersible Tender Assist Drilling Rig released on Monday, the total work program will consist of 5-7 development wells and 1-3 work over at the Belida “B” and the Belanak “A” platforms.
“The preferred starting date is between March 1 and June 1, 2005,” ConocoPhillips said.
The Block B is comprised of two mature oil fields, Belida and Sembilang, and 16 gas fields in various phases of development. The largest development in the block is the Belanak field and regional production hub, which has recently commenced first production.
In July, upstream authority BPMIGAS reported a temporary suspension of operations at the Belida “B” platform following an incident occurred on Atwood Beacon rig. (Robert)
