Kosmos Energy subsidiary Kosmos Energy Deepwater Morocco has spudded the FA-1 well on the Eagle prospect in the Foum Assaka area offshore Morocco, according to partner Fastnet Oil & Gas.
The planned target depth is 4000m in about 600m water depth. The well is expected to take up to three months to reach TD and test multiple objectives.
The FA-1 well is estimated by the operator, Kosmos, to contain 360MM boe of Pmean resources in its primary deepwater Lower Cretaceous reservoir objective.
Commenting, Paul Griffiths, Managing Director of Fastnet, said: "We are delighted that drilling has commenced on schedule on the Eagle Prospect. The results from the FA-1 well will allow us to further evaluate and potentially de-risk the varied and near-term drilling targets in the Foum Assaka license where we and our partners see significant potential upside."
