UK based oil and gas company Hurricane Energy announced on Wednesday it has spudded its first well at Warwick Deep, west of Shetland.
The 205/26b-C well was spudded on Tuesday evening using the Transocean Leader drilling rig, the company said.
Warwick Deep is the first in a three-well program on Hurricane's Lincoln and Warwick assets - the Greater Warwick Area.
Hurricane holds 50% interest in the GWA after Spirit Energy farmed-in to 50% of the Lincoln and Warwick assets in September 2018, committing to a five-phase work program targeting sanction of full field development in 2021.
