 | Well on Inam to be sealed off temporarily |
Work on sealing off the first exploratory well on offshore Inam field is expected to last till the end of April, according to the project-operator BP.
This has been made possible thanks to sidetrack drilling, which resulted in reduced well pressure. After the well-mouth is closed, the “Dada Gorgud” semi-submersible drilling rig will abandon the field and the drilling will resume only by “Istiglal”, currently engaged in Absheron prospect.
As reported earlier, drilling operations on the first exploratory well on Inam were suspended due to high pressure at the depth of 4,442 meters. Designed depth of the well is 5,025 meters. Partners in the Inam PSA are SOCAR (50%), BP (25%) and Shell (25).*
