Niko Resources Ltd., announced that it had started spudding the Ajek‐1 well in the Kofiau block on Wednesday.
The Ajek‐1 well is to be drilled to a depth of approximately 5,900 feet and the work is expected to take 40 to 45 days, the company said in a press statement on Thursday.
Moving approximately 2,400 nautical miles from western Indonesia to eastern Indonesia took only 23 days, much faster than originally anticipated, demonstrating the continued enhanced operational efficiency of the Ocean Monarch drilling rig and Niko?s Indonesian drilling team.
