Italy's ENI has completed track well GU2-Dir A at the Guendalina gas field in the Northern Adriatic, offshore Italy.
The side track reached a planned total depth of 3276m, according to partner Rockhopper Exploration. All target horizons within the Pliocene were gas-bearing and penetrated in an up-dip position with anticipated reservoir characteristics. Additionally, two deeper gas levels were encountered that have been perforated as part of a dual string completion.
The rig moved off location on 4 November and production has now resumed. Total production from the field is stabilized at approximately 440,000 scm/d gross.
